After Zytiga-prednisone-lupron failed, mostly by overwhelming SE from the first two. I received my second Lupron injection last week even though there's a slight PSA increase from .83 to 1.10 (they did not do a testosterone test, wich was climbing again) Oncologist mentioned we could start Xtandi but also suggested to wait for my next month labs and see what's PSA doing. I insisted with starting Xtandi right away, MO agreed. RX was approved only to later find out that Xtandi has interaction with Biktarvy (HIV treatment). So is a no go for me, and both the oncologist and my PCP are meeting to decide treatment plan. Does anyone know anything about treating both diseases at the same time and drug interactions?Thanks in advance.

Hello and first of all, I am sending blessings and thoughts of strength to you at this time. I cannot give any thoughts on treating both. Only that my dad was on Lupron for years, and tolerated it well. Then it stopped working and now he's on Zytiga and Prednisone. He does take THC gummy's ( 5 mg THC combined with 5 mg CBD) 3 X daily. That has increased his appetite, reduced pain and helped him sleep at night, including the most important, reduced his nausea. Best of luck to you - D
