1. abiraterone is slowly absorbed through the gut. More quickly with fat.
2. it slowly builds up in your bloodstream. He is saying that it takes a week of daily intake until it reaches its maximum concentration. After that, the daily amount absorbed=the daily amount excreted. This is called the "steady-state concentration."
I have been taking 1000mg of abiraterone daily for 6 weeks. PSA down to <0.3. Originally in the hundreds. Lupron brought it down to around 0.7 for a couple of years. It then started to rise and after it got to 1.3 or so Dr said this was next step. Should work for a year or so. Still doing Lupron shots quarterly. Hip and sacrum pain has gone away.
