Apalutamide vs abiraterone: which is more effective?

My husband has been taking abiraterone and prednisone since January 2020 and has had Lupron shots for many years before that and continues with them. His side effects of fatigue and hot flashes result from the Lupron in our opinion, not from the abiraterone.

A very correct statement

Yes, the hot flushes are a real challenge, and I agree that they're mostly likely from the ADT (like Lupron, Firmagon, or Orgovyx), not from the ARSI.
My hot flushes seem to have faded a bit since 2021, but they still happen, and it's embarrassing to be sitting in public suddenly dripping sweat and hoping no one thinks you're having a heart attack.
