Treatment for Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Bones

Posted by cal77 @cal77, Aug 27, 2023

4 months ago diagnosed with Prostate Cancer that has Metasized into Bones. So far, just getting Hormone Treatment...Eligard and Erleada....Feeling so tired...Is this normal? Is there any other treatment available?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I’ve been on it 4 months, couldn’t tell any difference when it was added to my Leuprolide and chemotherapy.

Has anyone taken Nubeqa? How well did it work, and any side effects?.

I have been in Nubeqa for 12 month now, other than very little hot flashes (drink soy milk to reduce side effects) no other side effect! No fatigue, go for it with confidence

That is the book that I bought and I don’t think that there is a newer version. Amazon has a 3 set series of diet, smoothy and something else of Milken’s diet books for $41 and that is what I purchased and we are still digesting the recipes. My wife and I are following the principles of the recipes and diet but making some variations to make the preparation a bit easier but not so much easier as to negate the diet to fight cancer. Best of Luck!

Good luck CHP. Most of the guys here have dealt with the emotions and medical issues that you are beginning with and frankly, we understand. We probably understand better than our doctors understand as we are on the front lines dealing with our life’s uncertainties. I have recently purchased Michael
Milken ‘s diet book for fighting cancer. When Milken was in his forties he was diagnosed with PC and his prognosis then was a year or so. He did research and then completely changed his diet. He is now 77. The things that he wrote in his book are in line with, but more detailed than what my oncologist has told me. I am following my doctors instructions AND following the diet in this book. I feel better, actually, doing what I can to help myself and my family. I am optimistic (most of the time). More than 2 years ago, after RP, I was told that my prognosis was 4-5 years. I have been off of all meds for 9 months and my PSA is now and has been .01
I am planning and hoping and working on beating my prognosis by many many years, much like Michael Milken has. It is a battle that is worth fighting and one that we all must do as best as we can. Perhaps you can chat with your doctors about the benefits of a change in you diet. Best of Luck!

@hbp Is this the Michael Milken diet book - The Taste for Living Cookbook, published in 1998? I only see "used" editions. Is there a newer edition still being published?

When will you start radiation? How are you doing?

Diagnosed a couple months ago and promptly started ADT. Doctor has decided to start radiation next month on both the prostate and bone metastasis. Three months ago, before diagnosis, thought I had good health, diet, exercise, weight, etc. Was taking zero prescriptions and PSA was within range for each annual check until this year. Now in mid-50's trying to stay positive.

I am currently receving Jevtana again along with carboplatin. I'm on this after Pluvicto failed to work. After 3 infusions of pluvicto, my PSA was 20 and before Pluvicto it was 1.56

Diagnosed with prostate cancer that has metastasized to
bones. Any concerns beginning radiation on cancer in bones while waiting for hormone treatment to progress before doing radiation/surgery on prostate. Would there be a reason to wait on bone radiation and combine it with the prostate radiation at the same time?
