Hi anubis
I don't have any experiences of this drug to share with you but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies. This could be because the right person hasn't seen it yet but replying to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the page where it'll hopefully be seen again. I'm also tagging this group's Community Champion into my reply as he may be able to help you further.
If you type 'abiraterone' into the search bar in this group it does bring up quite a few previous posts which mention it. You could have a look through these to see if the information you want is there and ask further questions of those who have posted in the past.
I have also found this information from Macmillan about abiraterone which tells you how it works and the common side effects you might experience.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
