Abiraterone Withdrawal Syndrome - anyone experience it?
I'm familiar with bicalutamide withdrawal syndrome: PSA increases after a while taking
Casodex
but goes down when
Casodex
is stopped. This is caused by the Androgen Receptor using bicalutamide to become activated, and is well known. I've even seen reports of this occurring with Xtandi (see below).

Rise in ALP level, PSA continues to fall, what can it mean?
He then moved on to Lupron +
Casodex
. After 1 month, its now risen from 81 to 121. He also has little pain on and off in his back and thighs from 4 days. He has stopped taking his painkiller since a month and doesn't need them yet. His PSA level is 0.024 now (lowest so far).

Stopping Casodex before stopping Lupron
I messaged her that I had no more
Casodex
refills on the prescription and she stated that "the convention has been to prescribe the
Casodex
for only 4 months irrespective of length of hormone therapy (2 months before RT, 2 months during RT)" I was not aware of the issue of stopping
Casodex
at this particular

More questions
Great scans in January, no disease progression or lesions, old lesions healed, psa is stabilized around 3.7. should I consider
casodex
, feel good, still working part time. Last visit he was waiting for the psa to stabilize. I guess I do not want it to come back, a fear we all have.

after 3+ years on Lupron/
Casodex
, discontinue
Casodex
but no appreciable drop in PSA.

Upcoming appt. with urologist
If
casodex
blocks PCa cells from feeding on testosterone, why use ANY methods to reduce T level? *Does
casodex
EVER feed Ca? Is there a 100% guarantee that Ca will develop resistance to
casodex
?

Casodex and Lupron
Am I supposed to continue taking
Casodex
as well? My MO is taking forever to answer. UPDATE 2/7/2020: My MO just said to stop taking it. We're doing a PSA test 7 weeks after my Lupron to see where we are. Thanks

MONOTHERAPY FOR NEWLY DIAGNOSED PROSTATE CANCER
K was amazed that I'd gone almost 2 years with a PSA <0.1 on
casodex
and finasteride. I failed to inform him of the ton of vitamins, supplements (both mineral and herbal [NOT CBD, ever!], minimal exercise, fresh air and 40-60 oz. distilled water/day).
