Use of Bicalutamide and Finasteride
My Urologist has prescribed these two drugs to reduce the size of my prostate (109ml) and slow down sudden aggressivness of the prostate cancer. My PSA jumped from 7.1 in Aug 2017 to 13.3 today. Have any of you been on these drugs? What was or is your experience. Thank you,
Jim

Finasteride

I was a finasteride user for 20 years. I just had my prostate removed. I'm getting conflicting info on the finasteride link. But you are absolutely right to be concerned. Check it out. With a big PSA score like yours arent you scheduled for a biopsy?

Yes, I have had several biopsies. I am trying to deciding upon what treatment to have,
