Dear all
My dad started taking Zytiga with Prednisone 2.5 months ago and he would take PSA test (and maybe other test) in next 2 weeks as per his doctor’s prescription. We are a little bit worried if Zytiga & Prednisone don’t work for him because he feels passing urine is more difficult than previously. Therefore, we are thinking what next step should be and would like to get your sharing / advice.
1. Do you know any case that Zytiga with Prednisone initially does not work for that person, but Zytiga with Dexamethasone works for him? Some people shared that when Zytiga with Prednisone worked at first and when its effectiveness reduced, they took Zytiga with Dexamethasone. However, in my question, the situation is Zytiga with Prednisone did not work at the beginning.
2. Do you know any case that Zytiga did not work for that person then he takes Xtandi and it works? Some people shared that they took chemo before moving to Xtandi from Zytiga. But in these cases, Zytiga did work for them. If Zytiga did not work at first, should my dad move directly to Xtandi or re-take Docetaxel? He finished 8 rounds of Docetaxel last November. Cabazitaxel is not available in my country.
3. Do you know anyone who is under ADT treatment but has BPH?
Thank you for your sharing and advice
