Ron,

Welcome to our group.  I am sorry to hear about the Zytiga failure.  You should arrange to see your consultant ASAP as you don't want your PSA any higher than need be.  The PSA reflects the overall cancer growth, so slow it down and control it.

Next treatments can include enzaludamide or chemotherapy with docetaxel. 

Let us know how you do.

Joel
