Good afternoon, I thank everyone for the answers you gave me in my previous post. I would like to update my dad's situation (type 4 prostate cancer and bone metastasis) perhaps it will serve someone's experience later and your advice will help me a lot. The medications you take: Omeprazole 7 AM Predisona at 8 AM Abiraterone at 11 AM (3 hours of fasting and 2 without eating until lunch) Note: Which lowered your PSA from 22 to 9 in 2 months. For 15 more days he has dropped to 4.13 but has raised his Transaladamide TGO TGP. Natural medicine: Omega 3 Supplement red maca powder Sacha jergon powder (Peruvian jungle medicine) The treatments you are undergoing: 10 sessions of Radio therapy to treat a pathological lesion. Note: I calm your pain. At the end I was tired and a little nauseous. Zelendronic acid (Calcium fixative) Note: which generated very strong discomfort. But they go down with the days and the medication. For pain: conditionally, tramadol drops. Currently he feels fine, he cannot sit for long, after sitting he gets ready and rests. I have noticed that he has more nausea but I don't know if it is because of the medication or the radiotherapy. Consultation: From what my dad tells me, it seems like the abiraterone is bothering him with the nausea. Has anyone been through that? What happens if the nausea is due to abiraterone? What other supplement have you used for bone metastases? Can you give me more advice or tell me about any experiences? Should I see another specialist? What should you consider for your diet? I wish you a happy holiday and thank you again for your advice and support, I always read the posts. Greetings from Lima, Peru.

What were the results of his DXA scan? It is unusual to start with Zolendronic acid unless he has osteoporosis. He should only take prednisone with food - that might be causing his nausea. He may be better off taking the abiraterone as soon as he wakes up, and delaying breakfast for an hour.

No advice but Feliz Navidad.... to your Father and to all....

Note: I wish to offer my apologies if I offended anyone regarding my so-called humor about "race" or "misogyny". To me, humor is boundless and since we entered this word crying, I thought it would be a good idea to exit laughing.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
