radiation whack-a-mole?
I've been taking androgen blockers (Eligard injections 90 days plus daily 1gm of
abiraterone
) for five years. The primary treatment in summer 2018 was external beam radiation.

Abiraterone costs via insurance
Team, thought I would check to see what everyone's financial experience has been who are using generic
Abiraterone
Acetate. My BlueCross BlueShield uses CVS exclusively for handling all my meds. CVS is charging me/my insurance $9,650/m for generic

Bipolar Androgen Therapy Followed by Androgen Receptor Inhibition as Sequential Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Second, in men with CRPC progressing on
abiraterone
, BAT can be considered as part of sequential therapy with an antiandrogen based on results from the TRANSFORMER study. Importantly, BAT should always be given in conjunction with ongoing ADT.

Too soon to be concerned?
., but, been getting bloodwork every one to two weeks lately as WBC count hasn't come back to normal since final chemo (Oct 24, 2022) and restarted
abiraterone
about 6 weeks ago. Since I've been getting CBC and CMP each time, I also get PSA tested. The past 2 weeks my PSA has gone up a little.

Substitute Eplerenone for Prednisone with Zytiga?
The reason to give prednisone with
abiraterone
is to reduce the increase in aldosterone caused by zytiga inhibition of cortisol which leads to an increase in ACTH and in Aldosterone a hormone which is not blocked by
abiraterone
.

Need meal ideas for low-dose abiraterone
My husband (dx Oct '22, PSA 270, advanced PCa with extensive bone mets), is about to start the low-dose
abiraterone
regimen (250mg with small low-fat meal - 300 calories, max 9g of fat) (this has been discussed with two oncologists, including one at Dana Farber, so please - respect our decision).

Would like Opinions about Continuing on Pluvicto Trial
Had radiation for 2 months and was on
Abiraterone
for 2 years.
Abiraterone
stopped working. PSA started to rise to 9.3. I have been getting Cat Scans, PSMA and Bone scans. I enrolled in Pluvicto trial in September 22. I wasn’t selected for Pluvicto until the scans get worse.

Update on my father. Triplet therapy?
I've been reading about the benefits of giving
Abiraterone
(Zytiga) early versus later as part of triplet therapy and also told his doctor about that but I am not sure what the future steps will be. What do you think - should we be more persistent about early

UK and abiraterone availability
This may be old news but I just heard that Abi is finally off patent in the UK. This should mean that the NHS will now prescribe for HSPCa. (Currently restricted for this group unless you started it in Covid as alternative when chemo not possible). If it still can't be prescribed via NHS , it will now

low back problems
I've been on Eligard and
abiraterone
+prednisone for slightly more than a year, out of a planned 2 years. I had 44 sessions of proton beam therapy ending 4/7/23. My PSA has been undetectable since early in my ADT regimen, and remained so as recently as 2 weeks ago.

Brittle Bones
I’ve been on the Lupron,
Abiraterone
, and Prednisone treatment for about 7 months. I just broke a rib leaning on a chair. Do these drugs cause your bones to become easier to break? Luckily I get an MRI and the PSMA PET Scan tomorrow. Should be interesting to see I hope. Thoughts? Thanks!

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.
