 4  Advanced prostate cancer I have had no side effects that I can contribute to Casodex since I am taking other medicines that might be causing the weakness and lack of energy. The other medicine, imipraine, seems to be the major cause of my weakness. I also had an orchiectomy (castration) and that didn't help either. All in all I praise the Lord that I am alive and can still get about. When I started taking casodex my PSA was 0.6. Now it is less than 0.2. I watch my liver "numbers" since I have also had hepititis B and have a core antibody resulting from that. So far so good. M 76 2 years

 4  prostate cancer ternderness of the nipples I had a 23 PSA & a 9 Gleason T3a--Score after LRP surgery and 60 days after surgery my PSA was 0.35 and should have been less then 0.20. I was put on 100 mg of casodex per day, after 30 days my PSA reading was <0.05 a very acceptable level. I am now on 50mg daily and should be taken off the medication in 6-9 months. I do recomend it. good luck. M 60 90 days
