abiraterone

When ADT fails, we continue it anyway... why not Zytiga?
Why wouldn't the same be true of
abiraterone
? Once abi "fails" in keeping PSA low and in preventing progression, does it not still "succeed" in its function, and still inhibit CYP17A1 and decrease the production of testosterone?

Update on restaging cancer
She also rec'd
Abiraterone
/Prednisone but due to several cardiac issues my husband doesn't want that since he feels any SEs would land him in the hospital. She also said that if the Xtandi fails she might rec'd Casodex. The name was familiar but I didn't connect to bicalutamide until we got home.

18 Month Update
After 18 months of ADT plus
Abiraterone
and HDR Brachytherapy and EBRT my WBC is within normal limits for the first time since HDR Brachytherapy. My PSA started at 10.28 and decreased 95% the first month of ADT and slowly after that with the last 6 months ranging 0.06 to 0.08.

Why we add an AART drug to ADT?
So in answer to your original question: if you are going to be on continuous ADT, then it appears to be of benefit to be also on an AART drug, or
abiraterone
. I will also post this summary for my friends on FPC. Paul/MB

Two years and counting
Dr Sartor said his recent experience using the Eligard,
Abiraterone
+ Prednisone combo, was not as hard on bones as past treatments. He did recommend that I get a DEXA scan and take Oscal 500+D 2 times a day. As far as I know the Oscal company is out of business. I found a substitute.

Approximately how long can I get with abiraterone plus Zoladex.
(Chemotherapy and radiation treatments as well at diagnosis) Now I am CRPC and have added
abiraterone
. Approximately how long can I get with this combination. When this fails what can I expect. I know I had increased bone pain before the addition of the
abiraterone
.

Side Effects of Lupron plus Abiraterone
I'm on Lupron and
Abiraterone
plus prednisone. Aside from the 'normal' side effects of low/no libido, reduced testicle size, etc., I am losing much of my body hair. I'm referring to arm, leg, chest and armpits. Hair elsewhere is hanging in there, including beard. Anyone else seeing this?

when do you take a break
Just wondering i do 5 mg of prednisone 1000 mg of
abiraterone
and Lupron every 3months plus bone so I've been on this now 10 months PSA is less than 0.001, so at what point do you take a break looking into the future how do you know when to take that break and what if the cancer comes back do you start

One year after Stage IV, so far, so good
They recommended that I have the triple treatment of chemo, Lupron, and
abiraterone
+ prednisone. Chemo was not a fun experience, but like a lot of you here, I got through it. taking Lupron and
Abiraterone
+ prednisone was ok but I can live with the SEs.

How content should I be with my current treatment 🤷
The dust seems to have settled into my current treatment of Lupron,
Abiraterone
, and Prednisone. And I have to admit I'm enjoying riding that path quietly for a while. On the other hand I'm still confused about some things I've brought to my MO and RO.

Should my dad continue docetaxel? He seems weakening so much.
We returned to 4th docetaxel and start to add
abiraterone
but again after 2 weeks he got infection and we go into hospital treating again with antibiotic. We only able to take
abiraterone
for 10 days only.

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
He began triplet therapy (initially degarelix, then leuprolide +
abiraterone
and prednisone) soon after. By September it had fallen to under 0.1 and then under 0.05 by the summer of 2023. Subsequent PET scans showed some bone mets had shrunk, others were unchanged.

Leftover prostate cancer drugs
I would like to help out anyone that has a financial need and has been prescribed
abiraterone
. This is expensive for some people.

When should you start taking Bisphosphonates, or bone strengthening medications.
I have been on continuous ADT since 2017 plus chemo and now
Abiraterone
with prednisone. The last year I have increased back and rib pain. The pain follows after I lift any heavy objects and usually at night when lying in bed. I defiantly have lost a lot of strength as well.
