Castrate Resistant
I know that patients who were started at beginning with combo of, say, Lupron plus
abiraterone
acetate are declared castrate resistant when PSA rises in certain ways and/or progression is shown on scans.

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
Abiraterone

Abiraterone
and Prednisone on November 10. Today I had a PSA test. My PSA dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic fall in PSA after only 22 days of

Abiraterone seems to be working
My MO put me on
Abiraterone
, along the existing Lupron. I had my MO appt and my PSA has fallen from 4.5 to 2 after about 7 weeks on Abi. This is my second iteration with Abi. I was put on it, along with Lupron, when I was first diagnosed.

Lymph Node Irradiation for a Potential Cure
Currently I have been on
abiraterone
and Lupron for 21 months. I only had one docetaxel, before catching pneumonia, so chemo was halted by my oncologist, stating the chemo would kill me before the cancer. The one chemo and
abiraterone
and Lupron shrunk the lymph nodes by 75 percent over time.

Second Line Hormonal
I did try
Abiraterone
2022/2023 and it failed after a few months. I have been trying to get my Oncologist to prescribe Enzalutamide. I have been treated with docetaxel again and thought it might re-sensitize me for another hormonal drug.

ADT and ankle swelling
I have been on Lucrin injections 3 monthly,
Abiraterone
1000mg daily plus Prednisone. The Prednisone dosage was initially 10mg daily, but 2 months ago I complained to my oncologist about thinning skin on my arms and bleeding from the slightest scratch.

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried
abiraterone
and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now I will be switching to cabazitaxel for another 6 to 10 rounds. Has anyone switched and had any luck?

WellCare Plan D specialty pharmacy
My husband had Aetna Silverscript Part D and was using BioPlus specialty pharmacy for

prescription to the right department.

Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
The comparator is basically the same as my current treatment with the option of changing from
Abiraterone
to Enzalutamide. I’m not sure of my next best move.

Abiraterone vs Nubeqa
I've been on Lupron only for 5 years, metastatic to bones. Generic AA would be the next cheapest step, but I notice my new Medicare drug plan shows $2,800 for a year's worth of Nubeqa. Any advantage to going with Nubeqa other than possible difference in side effects?

Docetaxal chemotherapy
When my PSA started to rise I took
abiraterone
and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When that cleared they gave me Nubeqa which gave me some unpleasant side effects.

PCA Cure and when?
PSA is 0 on ADT and
Abiraterone
and methylprednisolone. Averaged 8,600 steps/day. I have just started to add occasional sprinting. I am taking multiple supplements. I am greatful that my PSA is 0. I work everyday and pray for a cure. What is our best hope for a cure and when?

3 Abiraterone tabs in place of 4.
Warriors Some time back I posted that my MO had told me to take 3
Abiraterone
tablets with 5 mg Prednisone daily instead of 4 to help with an out of control Blood Pressure problem. I was worried (as were some of the responses) that this could impact the ADT therapy.
