After 6 cycles of Docetaxcel in April-July 2016 ,my oncologist put me on ADT till 2020 when Psa was increasing .The nadir Psa was 0. 04 in Oct 2019. Psa increased steadily - 2.4,3.3; ,5.68,10.02 ,28, 39 ,108 in June 2021. ADT used .: Honvan ,Arbiterone ,Enzaltamide.

Oncologist put me on chemo Docetaxcel in July 2021

Psa dropped from 108 to 81 in August . Psa is now 57

Now my oncologist has prescribed Arbiterone for 5 weeks ;then take review before resuming chemo cycle Docetaxcel

Has this line of treatment worked successfully ?

Good idea to alternate. But try enzalutamide next time.

Trying options appears to be my oncologists strategy .He says if the current treatment is not satisfactory radiation Lu 177 and or immuno therapy will be tried .

Starting and stopping zytiga may not be a good idea. There is a good chance it will loose it's effectiveness.

Abiraterone has a good record.
