I was on Xtandi after Zytiga for about 4 months. It didn't work. I am now having Chemotherapy using taxotere every 3 weeks. Content on HealthUnlocked does not replace the relationship between you and doctors or other healthcare professionals nor.
Funny you post this today, as my MO and I had a very lengthy discussion on this topic yesterday. I have done 6 rounds of Docetaxel, and been on ADT for over 18 months. This past summer when my PSA was doubling every 30 days, the MO put me on Zytiga and Pred.first few weeks I felt better than i had in months and PS dropped from 225 to 150 in 4 weeks.then doubled back up, and then again. So yesterday we decided to give Xtandi a shot, and he is having me wean from the Pred for a few week, take a week off from the AA and start Xtandi next Monday.we are giving it exactly 3 months, and if by the first of February we don't see a steady and sustained drop then back on the chemo, long term, to get the PSA back down to my Nadir of 1.45 if possible. I will update as the Xtandi starts next week. Hi Steph, (if that's ok) I wonder what the issue is with the Xtandi? My MedOnc wanted X, before Z, but my insurer balked.
Now that Z it beginning to fail, it's certain, I will go to X. As long as my numbers are ok. And, please post your doubling times and PSA's if you would. Post them privately, if you'd like. I'd like to compare mine, which are not doubling, but creeping up slowly enough to where, if you take one month and times it by 2, it's more than twice as much. If I got that across right.

It was in 1817 by in his Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle, where he gave it the scientific name Fringilla guttata. The Australian subspecies was then described in 1837 by as Amadina castanotis. Its current genus, Taeniopygia, was described in 1862. It is placed in the tribe Poephilini, along with the genus, which it was previously included in; the split between Taeniopygia and Poephila is justified by 1987 study using. There are two of the zebra finch: • Taeniopygia guttata guttata, the Timor zebra finch, extends from in the or in to Sermata, in addition to coastal areas around the continent of Australia. • is found over the wide range of continental Australia; it is sometimes split as the Australian zebra finch.
The zebra finch likely evolved in Australia, with either northern or southeastern Australia postulated as two places where the genus arose. The present-day distribution of the subspecies T.
Guttata is likely due to a Pleistocene glaciation event where the sea level dropped between about 100 and 150 metres (330 and 490 ft), putting the coasts of Timor and Australia closer. This allowed birds swept out to sea by cyclones to see mountains near the west coast of Timor, which prompted them to make landfall on the island.
The differences between the subspecies include differences in size. Guttata is smaller than T. In addition, the T. Guttata males do not have the fine barring found on the throat and upper breast and have smaller breast bands. Habitat and distribution [ ]. Male in Western Australia, Australia The zebra finch has the most extensive mainland distribution of the Australian estrilids, being found in about 75% of mainland Australia, as the subspecies Taeniopygia guttata castanotis. This subspecies is generally not found on the coasts, except for the arid western edge.
