Arrhythmia and Zytiga

I have been on abiraterone for about a year and a half along with Lupron. I’m currently seeing a cardiologist because the last two weeks I’ve developed heart palpitations/arrhythmia.

Abiraterone and fatigue in 78 year old dad

I've read abiraterone does cause fatigue, Does he just have to learn to live with this? His prognosis is terminal and after Abiraterone doctors have said he'll just be moved to clinical trials. Any advice on dealing with the exhaustion?

Anyone taking a 5ARI (dutasteride/finasteride) with Abiraterone?

But doesn't it seem to make sense to use one with long-term abiraterone treatment?

Where to buy affordable Enzalutamide?

I know I can get generic abiraterone from India which can be affordable. Only problem is my dad already has had abiraterone many years ago and I would like to add enzalutamide to radium 223 which has been proven safe and more effective.

How serious is being a month late for a Lupron injection?

I am also taking abiraterone. I tend to think the residual ADT in my system will continue to be effective for a month, especially when I’m also on abiraterone acetate (Zytiga).

Avodart / Dutasteroid

As such, abiraterone metabolism creates its own competitor, in a manner of speaking... [by producing] 3-keto-5-beta abira abiraterone [which] ends up as an androgen agonist, thus potentially mitigating the antitumor potency.

Question about weight lifting while on anti testosterone therapy.

I was placed of abiraterone and ADT 6 months ago. I am an avid exerciser so I have not experienced any fatigue but I think I was noticing mild weakness. I decided to start weight lifting. My question is: Do I expect to get stronger or just slow the deterioration.

Prednisone dosage with Taxotere?

Grumpy, 78 and frail, has been on 5 mg of prednisone while taking half dose of abiraterone along with full dose of darolutamide. He starts Taxotere 3/1 so the doc stopped abiraterone and darolutamide for two weeks before Taxotere.

Zytiga or generic Abiraterone?

Does any know or have experience with using a generic form of zytiga (Abiraterone)? Is there a medical difference between the drugs or concern the generic may not be as effective?

Adding docetaxel for BCR CSPC at 3-mo doubling rate

Second recommendation is 6-9 months of ADT with intensification, probably abiraterone again, but possibly abieraterone + app;utamide. I previously had 18 months of abiraterone with EBRT after unsuccessful RALP and it yielded 18 months of PSA <0.5.

Stopping Abiraterone

I understand that it is not safe to stop prednisone abruptly but is it safe to stop abiraterone abruptly? Dad is suffering severe side effects and doesn't wish to continue. Many thanks!

Three-Year Anniversary

Lupron and abiraterone + prednisone. PSA staying low and MRI shows cervical neck tumor hasn’t grown and maybe shrank. Even with not-much-fun ADT side effects, I feel blessed.
