Morning all

My latest deceptacyl injection is due Wed. The pharmacy now tell me they can't get any.My oncologist secretary says use zoladex or prostap?Can I have prostap... after having been on it previously?I am ringing the surgery again tomorrow I ain't a happy bunny.. as it has taken me a month to find this out.

Thanks to the skill of the radiography consultant.I now know that it has spread....two small spots clavicle and thorax.Which in relative terms is good news. My psa is still rising but I know why...Ion't have any pain but my consultant said if it isn't treated I would!So the good thing is my oncologist can now develop a treatment plan.I am starting on abiterone shortly....Will this help shrink e spots ?Anybody who has experience of life on abiterone would be useful for me....I am aware of the side effects.

I was on Zoladex 3.5 years ago and put on aberiterone acetate (AA) at the same time. I’m still on zoladex but was taken off AA after 14 months.

My experience was good and the cancer was kept at bay with the PSA being the main check point.

it started to not work after a year that’s when Olaparib was swapped in and the AA was ended.

it works better on some people and my experience was good. I didn’t have any issues with tolerance so for me I thought it a good med.

Good luck

Hello Big Col

Thanks for your post and I wish you well moving forward.

My pharmacy had issues getting my last Decapeptyl injection. When I said I would try a different pharmacy he pulled his finger out and suddenly found some. I have had no issues with these injections.

Best wishes - Brian.
