ZYTIGA...Is anyone on this Daily Course...
Posted , 6 users are following.
It looks like I will be offered Zytiga for my Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer as my PSA is rising and now at 10 ur/l but my Testosterone is stable at 2.3...Yesterday the Urologist said that once PSA get to 20 ur/l then its time for Zytiga....My Metastic Tumours have diminished from the scan I had in December last year from my skeletone and I have been on top of the world for a year.....
Can anyone tell me first hand as to their experience of the sideffects of the drug and Presnidone.....At the moment I have good quality of life and in a good mindset on Zoladex,monthly injections...
Please look at my previouse listings and maybe you will be able to help with my inquiries...
Thanks....Ken

I say this after having been on hydrocortisone for 18 months, not for prostate cancer but a different disease, where for 2 weeks a new doctor changed me to prednisone.
I I did not tolerate prednisone well.
mood swings etc
from my reading of the literature, more folk tolerate hydrocortisone far better than prednisone.
the only drawback is some weight gain, but that is a small price to pay to feel better.

I live in Merseyside(Southport)---where do you live? Perhaps we use the same NHS trust.
