The paradigm has shifted - castrate resistance.
I’ve now added
Abiraterone
to the Lupron. My next checkup is at the end of March to check my PSA and my liver numbers. When I initially started Abi 6 years ago my liver numbers went wonky at first. My MO stopped the Abi for a month and my liver numbers recovered.

Lupron Question.
September 2023
Abiraterone
and 5mg of prednisone was added. Psa was 19 in Sept and dropped to 1.26 as of Jan. 11 2024. Since going on Abi when I get a monthly Lupron shot I have trouble sleeping that first night and mild flu like symptoms the next day.

I’ve finished the first 6 weeks of treatment (Lupron +
Abiraterone
with Prednisone) and PSA has gone from 8.6 to .53/ testosterone less than .4. I’ve had really none of the usual side effects like hot flashes or fatigue. I start radiation of the prostate in a couple weeks.

Following SOC here in BC Canada
Tried to add
Abiraterone
and it failed after a couple of months. Had Radium 223 and it was okay but did nothing to the PSA. Cancer kept progressing and had to get targeted radiation to painful spots on ribs.

Need advice on clinical trial RO7656594
I have updated our profile, but in a nutshell we've gone through
abiraterone
, Xtandi, docetaxel, Pluvicto , cabazitaxel and carboplatin. My husband's most recent PSA on 4/12 was 79.52. His MO has put a hold on chemo our last 3 appointments due to pancytopenia.

low dose abiraterone and possible pain
Does anybody here find low dose protocol of
abiraterone
effective? Also, how do you treat bone pain? Or how do you determine if pain is coming from the bone or some other factors like chronic pelvic-prostate syndrome?

Switching from Abi to Enza?
However,
Abiraterone
has resulted in some side effects, the major one being increase in blood sugar levels. My father has become pre-diabetic now and the doctor has advised to switch to Enzalutamide as it has fewer side effects.

Abiraterone and food
My husband has been on
Abiraterone
for 2 months, during which time his PSA has doubled. I’ve recently read posts about the advantages of taking
Abiraterone
with food instead of taking it an hour before eating as recommended.

Abiraterone Zytiga Major Price Jump! $$$$
just went to renew my monthly prescription of Abby Rader Rowan, and was told it had jumped from 160 per month to $1600 per month. Went to good RX and all the prices have quintupled or sextupled. Anyone have a clue why? Anyone know a better source for those of us on Medicare and supplemental health?

A quick introduction
I was immediately given Lupron and
Abiraterone
/prednasone. This was replaced by Nubeqa after only a month. In early June I began what was to be six rounds of docetaxal. Apparently I responded well to the treatment as my MO put my chemotherapy on “pause” after four rounds.

Need inputs on Abi side-effects for bed-ridden patient
Last month, oncologist had said that he will start
Abiraterone
in case the trend is increasing and also that he needs to see the patient once. Does
Abiraterone
have any significant side-effects? My dad has been completely bed-ridden for over 2 years now.

Food supplements I hope will help
Treated with IMRT radiation + Eligard +
Abiraterone
. PSA undetectable. Stopped
Abiraterone
due liver that hates it (liver is ok). Will try Nubeqa, and may switch to Orgovyx after Eligard runs out in December.

Just been told I have two years to live.
Male, age 73, Eligard injections,
Abiraterone
and Predisnone for four and a half years, some radiotherapy. PSA levels initially 69, brought down to 7 by
Abiraterone
. Suddenly stopped working. Went on Radium 233 trial. Never again, and it didn't work.
