Vaxchora and other year ends news
I had no side effects from the drug, which is a live virus oral vaccine I remain PSA undetectable, 18 months, and 6 months after I stopped Lupron/
Zytiga
. The bad news is that the prednisone taken with
Zytiga
apparently controlled my “radiation colitis.”

Lung biopsy experience?
I started
Zytiga
a week ago. The cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. I also have 4 small spots in my lungs, largest 1 cm, initially they said it was my prostate cancer. Doc said “what else can it be”? My bone scan was negative.

What are your thoughts about adaptive therapy for Prostate Cancer?
The patients were put on the drug abiraterone, or
Zytiga
, and researchers tracked the tumors by monitoring a protein called PSA in their blood, as unusually high levels of the protein are linked to prostate cancer.

Disease progressing after chemo. What now.
Xtandi and
zytiga
have failed. Had chemo with docetaxil and carboplatin this summer, 6 cycles. PSA went from 18 to 6.8. Last chemo was October. PSA now 20 with evidence of progression in lymph nodes and bones. Lungs and liver clear. Need to decide next treatment. Would appreciate any advice.

Docetaxel 6 cycles, should it be extended to 10 cycles?
MO never discussed this, the plan is to start
Zytiga
immediately after 6 cycles.

Severe joint pain while on Zytiga + dexamethasone + temazepam (for insomnia from dexamethasone) along with xofigo and xgeva
After taxotere, then 1-1/2 years doing very well on Lynparza +
Zytiga
+ Prednisone + Xgeva, PSA went up (last July - 5 months ago) so stopped Oliparib and switched steroids to dexamethasone (higher, 4mg. doses at first, now tapered down to 1mg) and added Xofigo for widespread bone mets.

Zytiga shipment by ground only??
My latest delivery of
Zytiga
from Optum (previously Briova Rx) included an odd insert along with the other paperwork: "
Zytiga
Tablet is classified by the U.S. Department of Transportation as having sufficient physical hazards that limit it to ground shipping only."

Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) vs Xtandi (Enzalutamide)
Myers being cautious regarding
Zytiga
vs Xtandi. He said that he generally preferred Xtandi because he said in 25 percent of the cases
Zytiga
could aggravate the cancer.

zytiga

Could Use Some Advice As Change May Be Afoot
I went on
Zytiga
again, for the first time in 2+ years. PSA dropped from .12 to ,10 and then again to .08 in subsequent 2 week periods. It was .08 again 2 weeks later and went UP to .10 last week. So- I am wondering if ADT (Lupron and
Zytiga
) is no longer working.

Woozy in morning after sleeping on left side
Been on Lupron/prednisone/
zytiga
since November 2018. Side effects have been manageable but lately a new symptom. If I have slept on my left side, When I get up I have been feeling woozy and it lasts for several hours. Strangely, it does not happen when I sleep on my right side.

Zytiga (abiraterone acetate)
Does anybody get their
Zytiga

Beware the Undetectable
I have been on
Zytiga
, Eligard and prednisone. I was told not to worry...things were at a standstill. Next week I start chemo and radiation to fight small cell lung cancer that snuck up on me while basking in the undetectable. Insist on a full body scan once a year or so.
