Hi

we had our first oncology meeting today - great news is that Pet scan showed no spread, so we were told it’s 3 years Relugolix and in a months time they are adding Abiraterone and a steroid.

We have another consultation for that, but wondered if anyone has experienced this combination (along with blood thinners, BP & Cholesterol medication for Atrial Fibrillation and stents.) 

What side effects can we expect to encounter? Radiotherapy planned for 6 months time 20 sessions. John is Gleason 4-4, but only found in 2 of 18 samples at biopsy. He’s 69 and generally fit and keeps himself active with cardio exercises. Resistance workouts, walking and golf - plus we have reduced our alcohol consumption since diagnosis and I cook very healthy food. 


Any recommendations to keep him as fit and healthy as we can during treatment?
