Zytiga to give away

My husband no longer responds to Zytiga. I have 35 500 mg pills and would love to give them to someone who is struggling to get this medication. Please let me know if you’re interested.

I would not give it away too soon. My husband stopped responding and the oncologist took him off Zytiga for about 2 months. His PSA obviously went up. He restarted Zytiga and his PSA dropped from 48 down to 35 in a month. We now await new PSMA scan on Monday. Has your hubby been put on other medication like Xtandi ?

Oh by the way, he had a few pills left after stopping it. They just lay in the cupboard. After doing his PSA and we realised it had shot up, we still had two weeks left to see Oncologist so hubby took the remaining pills anyway.

If he is planning to do Taxotere or Jevtana chemotherapy next, I'd save it for a potential rechallenge after chemo.

👏 it warms my heart to see posts like yours offering unwanted meds for free . Xx

I left mine with the Oncologist when I moved on to Xtandi. He said he would pass along to someone in need.

Looks like you had a few replies already..but if those dont work out , my e-mail is dkasper333@yahoo.com,appreciate it. been on Zytiga for a while reduced my PSA very low. Recently insurance denied Zytiga due to high cost but might get approved for the generic, only there is a lapse in my insurance temporarily due to a job change , hoping new insurance continues to pay in January.
