ERLEADA

[olddryleaves]

i wrote last May that I was going on Lupron .In May my psa was 137. In Sept it was down to 122 .The urologists felt that it did not decline enough so he put me on Erleada .Has any of the group been and or is on Erleada .If so what are the major side effects .Is the drug only to reduce my psa

Thank you

It slows your cancer and prolongs life. Side effects are individual.

I read so much about SE of ERLEADA and therefore I would prefer NUBEQA. Would you agree, that that’s a good choice for me (pls see bio)

[Tall_Allen in reply to Nusch]

Side effects only affect those who get them. I suspect Erleada is more powerful. You can try it - if it gives too many side effects, you can try Zytiga or Xtandi. How will you get insurance to cover Nubeqa?

[Nusch in reply to Tall_Allen]

In Europe it’s included.

I have been on Nubeqa for 18 months and my psa is <.02. Diagnosed in 2015, G9, psa 20.6. Radiation.

Eligard failed, psa rose to 1.78 in one month. Still on adt, monthly Lupron.

Side effects? No energy but I get to the gym 5 days a week. I just refuse to let energy be my issue. My doctors know but say I am doing the right thing.

Why refuse biopsy?

I've been on Lupron and Erleada for a 1 1/2 years, the usual side effects are tolerable but I wish would go away. Cancer undetectable. Oh, went from 4to 3 Erleada pills a day because some Vertigo 14 months ago.
