Treatment, on Lupron, 3 month shots, with Zitiga beginning July, 2023. I have mets in shoulder blade, Sacrum Coccyx, bi-lateral pelvic lymph nodes and Iliac wing.
Liver numbers over the course has come to a point that my MO is changing me from Zitiga to darolutamide. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been on darolutamide and what side effects and their experience with darolutamide.
Much appreciated,

My experience in switching from lupron and enzalutamide therapy for six months to lupron and darolutamide for the next 18 was that the extreme fatigue and intense hot flashes and mood swings I had experienced lifted enabling me to go about my daily life Concurrent with SBRT to mets on upper spine and right femur my MO had started me on lupron and enzalutamide in 10/20. PSA was undetectable a month later and has continued at that level for the past 39 months, including the past 15 when I’ve been on vacation from both lupron and darolutamide.
I started darolutamide about 18 months ago. After 3 months, my psa was "undetectable," the first time I had heard that word since my diagnosis in 2001. And it remains undetectable. There have been no side effects! I wish you the best, brother.
Just started first week of Jan 2024. First test 5 weeks in PSA was still less than 0.02. next test, my choice March second week. Out of town until then.
On quarterly Lupron and was on daily Casodex which was replaced by daily Nubeqa in April last year (2023): Only side effect is to your financial portfolio.... Here is a snapshot of my latest PSA tests, fortunately for me and all members I do not have snapshots of my DRE exams....

same as the others no side effect from Nubeqa- I experienced a one month bump from .06 to .09 then down to .04. Zytiga was rough on me - blood pressure and brain fog.
Forget insurance -- abiraterone == zytiga is generic. There are a lot of ways to get it legitimately for cash. I use scriptco.com, about $300 for 3 months 120 x 250mg.
Nubeqa sounds good for less SE's , if one can afford it, but is it worth it compared to abirat, enza, & jerleada? Have been studying this. Seems ok for mHSPC, & nmCPRC, but for mCRPC ? Not sure. Looks like one needs decataxel with it for mCPRC. But if one has to use a taxane anyway, why not use doca with abiraterone?
