My husband has been on Abiraterone, with 6 monthly Decapeptyl injections, since last October. Stage 4 PCa, Gleason 4 + 3, mets to lymph nodes, bone and lung.
PSA undetectable since November. Highest recorded level 7.5 last April.
His team will not give us any idea how long this regime is likely to be effective, although they were quick enough to take him off his previous drug regime, which they said was only short-term. Does anyone have a feel for this?
For the first 5 months, the side effects were horrendous and adversely affected his quality of life. In the last four weeks, they have stopped almost completely. Does anyone know what this means? Is it working really well or has it stopped working at all?
Thank you
