Hi
anyone in the group on Abiraterone & it’s effects on PSA response? Unfortunately my psa is rising just before completion of docitaxel chemo . Came down to 4 from bout 50 & now rising fast to 7 and drs thinking of starting Abiraterone to control . RT planned as well .
just wanted to know anyone on Abiraterone and what are the main side effects , how long you have had it & most importantly was psa well controlled with it ? Or anyone like me have had it after docitaxel resistance? Thanks
Hi
Radiotherapy brings the PSA down further, you don’t say if your on hormone therapy? I’ve done the chemo, radiotherapy still on hormone therapy and now five and a half years later I’m on enzalutamide I could have choose arberaterone but it was to aggressive for me.
keep safe
Joe
