Permission granted to stop Tztiga

[joeoconnell]

HOT DIGGIDY DOG ! just left my oncologist , and she said O K to my stopping Tztiga on a trial basis. that also means i can stop prednisone, the laxatives, stool softeners, etc ... just last month i got off lupron too ... hopping this improves my mood , memory , and clears up mental confusion + increases energy level >>> YIPPEE

My husband was given break off zitiga & dexamethazone on Friday the 28th & I have a big concern his MCRPC will advance quickly. His PS A had jumped from 55 to 58 in month & just finished 6 treatments of rafium 223 on march. 21. what are some of your thoughts about stopping zitiga??

[joeoconnell in reply to Charlesd]

i had a series of events that were the results of taking zitiga that led me to plead for a break for awhile

[joeoconnell in reply to Charlesd]

i stopped it for reasons that i think were unique to me and would not presume to advice others. i may at sometime resume taking it

Assume it is Zytiga. Just put Lupron back in the mix and so far it is ok, checking psa which was rising, next week.

At age 88, you have made a logical decision. I support you and wish you well.
