Hello, first time poster here. Curious if anyone here is participating in the trial study Phase 3 of Androgen Annihation in High-Risk Biochemically Relapsed Prostate Cancer. I am just starting my 3rd month of the Arm C portion of study. It consists of a shot of Degarelix once a month in the stomach along with 4 pills of apalutamide with prednisone and 4 pills of abiraterone with prednisone once a day.
Quick summery of my condition. Diagnosed in 2014 (age 47) PSA of 22. Biopsy showed 12 cores positive. Gleason 8. Lymph nodes showed negative during surgery but further study showed slight cancer in left side. PSA after surgery was 2.1 so put on Lupron for 2 years. That lowered PSA to "undetectable ". Taken off and 2 years later PSA raised to 13.4. Scans show now mets so doc thought I was a good candidate for this study.
So anybody on this and how are you responding. Also how are the side effects? My last PSA was at a .3 with no fatigue from meds, only hot flashes witch are bearable. Sorry so long and thanks for your time. Love the site, very informative.
