  1. Age 64, stage 4A, on abiterarone since settember last year,  up to a few weeks ago side effects not been to bad, tried to keep fit and active, but in the last few weeks my leg strength has diminished significantly, can hardly walk a few hundred yard without needing to stop, this is worrying, beginning to feel as though I am not far of needing a wheelchair, anyone else been in this position 
  • Muscle loss is an issue with any hormone therapy, and I think it's even more severe with the added fatigue of Abiraterone. Are you doing any resistance training? I found it essential to keeping any muscle on, going to the gym and lifting to failure. Just walking wasn't sufficient.

    Hope this helps
