My dad is on Zytiga and all the other tablets, for approx 18 months. Last few days all joints aching and heavy limbs feeling tired. Anyone had these effects?. No gleason score no nothing ever given presume too far advanced. started at 10,000+ psa Aug 2019. Slight rise last month back to 138. I can't keep writing full history as no doubt people will ask. Just keep it simple have you had these side effects are they side effects or should i contact a doc. Sorry to be blunt but im tired scared and alone i just want like all answers yesterday!.

thanks for anyone who may reply.

  • Difficult to give a useful answer without knowing where he's at and what treatment he's had so far: I think most of us have gone through similar feelings at some point, for many possible reasons (could be treatment related, rather than cancer related; that would not be unusual).

    Any idea at all what stage he was at diagnosis (TNM score?)

    Failing that, has he got known 'secondaries' / spread?

    What was his first treatment?

    Thanks.

    If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.

    Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.
