Can Abiraterone/Zytiga cause low blood sugar?
I’m diabetic and use an insulin pump. I’m on Abiraterone for about 5 months now, with hydrocortisone 10 mg per day to control Abiraterone side effects during PC treatment. Also took about 9 months Firmagon shots, but just switched to Lupron to preserve belly area for pump insulin insertion ports or continuous

I was put on
Zytiga
, Eligard, Xgeva from the very start and PSA has been 0.1 ever since. I've also had Provenge treatments last June. While my fight continues the treatments have put a burden on my body and mind. The medicine has taken its toll on me.

Dad/Heart Risk with ADT. Almost 3 years in PSA good.
Not sure if a vacation or reducing the
Zytiga
by 1 is worth it...? He looks unhealthy and both his parents died under 80 of heart and stroke. PC seems to be under control at this time. No Mets. Thoughts? Would appreciate it greatly.

Saw my Oncologist today, not good news.
The Radium 223 saw my PSA rise quickly half way through, he tried
Zytiga
+ Predisolone my PSA initially dropped to 88 in early Nov but by Dec it was up to 110 and today it's 360.

Can Erleada/Apalutamide and Xtandi/Enzalutimide be used subsequently or is Xtandi ineffective after Erleada stops working?
Zytiga
is probably not appropriate for me due to Coronary Artery diseases plaque buildup (30-40% with stable angina, BP is normal, blood glucose around 96). I did not do chemo after initial treatment , so 4.5 years later I am in no mans land and probably wouldn't be offered chemo by doctors.

PSA raised rapidly after 2 months finishing chemo
If his doctor still has no advice on next treatment (i.e. wait for imagines of status progress), should he take
Zytiga
without a doctor’s prescription? Looking forward to receiving your advice and experience sharing. Thank you in advance, Dawn

My husband been on
Zytiga
about 5 months his psa was coming down very slow last psa was 13.7 it’s now 14.5 does this means the med stopped working already? Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you have small fluctuations In a psa

Stop all meds
If you think you only have 8 months left why not stop adt and
Zytiga
? Won’t having the drugs out of your body and your testosterone back at least give you a feeling that you are more yourself? Quality of life should enter into the equation? Or am I way off on this?

Abiraterone-Firmagon ADT not working fast enough to lower PSA
I thought my decreasing PSA the past several months on Abiraterone (
Zytiga
) and Firmagon was moderately encouraging. But MO says I’m not responding well to ADT because 90% of patients like me would have PSA go down much quicker on Abiraterone and Firmagon.

Prognoses/longevity
Doing super well on ADT and
Zytiga
. Had 3 sets of radiation early on. Full body bone scan shows no visible signs of cancer. My oncologist won’t tell me if I have a new prognosis. Please help with your experience of prognosis. Does the clock start ticking afresh now? Thank you so much!

BRONJ... what to expect?
And with
Zytiga
he had Xgeva shoot again in begining of December 2019. Pain in bones has gone, but just after New Year pain in jaw returned... The jaw on the inside was even more exposed, but a new hole appeared on the outside in same place. There was no suppuration.
