hello,
i’m new here and encouraged by all the experience and caring nature of the conversations.
Would love if anyone has wisdom around a decision to stop Zytiga early?
I am 56 and was diagnosed 2/21 with Gleason 9 no lymph nodes invasion, but some vesicle invasion and perhaps a little outside margins was hard to tell. Had prostatectomy, radiation, and been on Lupron for 21 months and Zytiga for 17 months. PSA undetectable and five tests of Natera’s blood test show 0.0 parts per million of my cancer cells. Am a vegan and very active but have typical symptoms - hot flashes etc.
I do want to get my testosterone back and be healthier, stronger, less fatigued etc. heard and read different things about Zytiga reducing testosterone when not on Lupron. Plus it seems I’m doing well so wondering if I can get off it a little early.
Very much appreciate any advice.
Paul
