Oligometastatic PC and Radiation
We have been advised by the medical oncologist that the next step is either Docetaxel chemotherapy or
Zytiga
. Meanwhile, my husband went to a PC conference out of town recently.

Good news from visit at Mayo
Since prior to this my PSA was Rising and my former oncologist said that the
zytiga
was not working anymore I decided to take 250 mg with breakfast. We will see with next PSA test if this was a difference-maker.

Inconvenience/depends? Zytiga plus prednisone
I was on Xtandi for two years, and have been on
Zytiga
for about two months. Throughout this time I’ve had to urinate more and more frequently. I take Flomax every night, so I only have to pee 2 to 3 times every night. However, during the day it seems like I have to pee every 30 minutes.

When should the next set of scans be?
Then started Abiraterone (
zytiga
) on 11/1/19. PSA is currently 11 as of 12/24/19 My question is: when should his next scans be and WHAT should they be? (Bone scan? Another PET?) Really appreciate any opinions. Thank you!

Estradiol after xtandi/zytiga failure- anyone seen a response?
For those of you using estradiol, has anyone seen a response to estradiol after the failure of Xtandi or
Zytiga
? She realizes there are other options as well (chemo, provenge, xofigo, genetic testing). Thank you

How to take Zytiga and Prednisone.
Just starting
Zytiga
and unfortunately, the Cancer clinic isn't open till Monday. The Prednisone says to take on a full stomach. The
Zytiga
says empty stomach. Do you take them at the same time? Prescription says 2 prednisone daily at different times. Is that right? Sorry for stupid question.

three months into treatment. Update on outcome and next step please.
We consulted with two top oncologists in China for the next step, on top of ADT+
Zytiga
: one suggested radical surgery on prostate, the other suggested radical surgery on prostate + radiation therapy on mets.

Putting things in perspective
Been on ADT and
Zytiga
for 11 months to hopefully cleanup anything that may remain. PSA has been undetectable since the treatment for recurrence began last January. All things considered, I feel great and am hopeful that that just maybe we got it this time.

Iron deficiency anemia
After a year and a half of lupron and
zytiga
i ended up with anemia. Colonoscopy and endoscopy came out clear and really clean so we attributed it to iron deficiency. Currently iron is at 20 compared to a range of 50-175 and ferritin is at 3 compared to a range of 8-388.

Pembro and Olaparib clinical trial
Have been on
Zytiga
about 2 years and PSA had been undetectable but now going up, still low 2.1 but doubling every 6 weeks. Exploring options to get ahead of it. Consult at Johns Hopkins offered Pembro and Olaparib combo clinical trial .

So 12/1 I Start Medicare With Some Concerns.
I carried a commercial Blue Cross PPO policy which was not cheap but my
Zytiga
and Xtandi were covered at zero cost. All claims were paid without question. Compared to policies today the deductible was not that bad and ER visits are covered 100% no deductible.

Monotherapy to gain extra survival.
In no order but for example Xtandi till it stops then ADT till it quits working then
Zytiga
etc. Would this not give you extra survival? Is the above sequencing. Does combining hurt Monotherapy effective time.

Abiraterone Zytiga Copay assistance programs HELP
Right now he is on
Zytiga
and we are getting the copay assistance through Janssen which makes it almost free. We received notice that next year it has to be a generic version or we pay all costs. This seems to be the norm in all my other plan choices.

Zytiga to give away
My husband no longer responds to
Zytiga
. I have 35 500 mg pills and would love to give them to someone who is struggling to get this medication. Please let me know if you’re interested.

Cancer has progressed to L3 VERT. 2CM IN SIZE.
The oncologist suggested clinical trials and continued lupron and xtandi to replace
zytiga
which has failed. It was eye opening and extremely disappointing to hear this news considering I had hoped to delay with
zytiga
for a while longer. Am I on the right course.
