Hi does anyone have experience of enzalutamide and steroids as a combined treatment.   No chemotherapy offered as yet. 

Stage 4 with bone mets

Thank you

    You don't normally have steroids alongside enzalutamide - they are used in conjunction with abiraterone. Both Enzalutamide and Abiraterone are roughly equivallent hormone treatments in terms of outcomes but the advantage (as I see it) of Enzalutamide is not having to take steroids an hour before the abiraterone. 

    Cheers Steve

  • Thank you Steve.   I hope to go along to the next appointment so that I can ask questions directly as I don't really want to bother my brother with this as he's struggling with eveything at the moment.
