Pelvic MRI on Thursday at MDA
This was accomplished by a combination of injections of Lupron every three months, two
Zytiga
daily, along with a daily dose of Dexamethasone. However my weight has increased by almost 45 pounds and I still have the same issues with my prostate as I did b4 I knew I had cancer.

Chemo v/s Zytiga ?
Since his PSA is almost 0 and blood work has improved, doctors have given us 2 options of Chemo - Docetaxel (every 3 weeks, 6 cycles) and
Zytiga
(Abiretarone). However my MO strongly advises Chemo first, considering dads age (53 yrs) and widespread mets.

Very low PSA
Periodically I have used
Zytiga
(liver enzymes high). In another discussion ( David Heath) it was mentioned that PSA also can relate to cancer kill rates. My immune system has not been overly compromised (yet!). My Docs are happy with my PSA but can it also mean that mets are progressing.

Duration of ADT+Zytiga? Thoughts on when to stop or get another opinion?
Started Lupron+
Zytiga
and completed 72gy of EBRT in January. PSA has been undetectable at <.05 ever since. Given the good results of EBRT + ADT, it might seem reasonable to continue with 18 months of ADT+

Apalutamide side effects
I was on
Zytiga
but discontinued due to raised liver enzymes. I am still hormone sensitive with a PSA of .008. I have just been prescribed apalutamide (Erleda).How have side effects been for others . I sense that they may be worse than Zytiga's

Taking monthly Firmagon,
Zytiga

Spike in PSA
We retest in late Sept, but wondered if others have experienced a jump like this that was caused by something other than having run the course with
Zytiga
?

Advanced Prostate Cancer - Next Steps
I'm 56 years old and in the late stages of the ongoing battle - had 3 surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy in 2016, castrate resistant, on Lupron for the past 2 years, did
Zytiga
and Erleada, and about to do a 7th Docetaxel "juicing" (sounds so much healthier than infusion).

Increased urinary frequency at night
Added
Zytiga
in Feb 2019. PSA undetectable in Feb 2019, and every test since. The question is: I've gone from getting up once or twice a night to urinate, to recently getting up 2-4 times nightly to urinate. I take Tamsulosin nightly, avoid beverages late, etc.

It is open enrollment time for medicare. Things that seem too good to be true?
I take Abiraterone acetate (generic
zytiga
) and all but 2 plans put me in catastrophic coverage in January. The 2 that didn't purportedly keep me out of the coverage gap all year in 2020 and out of pocket caps in the $2,000 range. If true, that is roughly $8,000 out of pocket saving.

Stopped Zytiga and Lupon
After 16 months learned it had moved into lymp nodes and started the meds, but literally felt suicidal on
Zytiga
/lupron and 2x.5 prednisone.

ideas welcome!
our next attempt, thanks to all of you, is to rechallenge with
Zytiga
and Dexamathazone and see oncologist in a month to see if that is helping, and then I guess on to the next chemo. has anyone ever had these types of issues getting a cancer sample?

Dutasteride and Tamoxifen (T->DHT blocker and SERM)
I have prostate cancer and am doing cycles of casodex/dutasteride/
zytiga
, then estrogen patches/
zytiga
, then testosterone injections/dutasteride. Should Tamoxifen only be used during the estrogen patch/
zytiga
portion of the cycle? Thanks
