How'd you happen to go with Xtandi instead of generic abiraterone? Just curious, since big difference in price.

Yes, that's why I was asking. So what reason did your doc give you for prescribing such a more expensive drug instead of the much cheaper generic abiraterone?

MO said it was a better drug I was and still am a little skeptical but since it is working I don’t necessarily want to mess with it…

Thanks. I may have that situation before too long.

Abiraterone until it fails and then switch to enzalutamide works better and longer than the opposite sequence. Having some chemo in between probably even better if appropriate and you are willing. See T_A’s summary of research from clinical trials on treatment sequencing. Just info to consider. No wrong answer.
