I had to discontinue Zytiga after 2.5 years Because it was causing me to have Afib events. The last event 7/23 Put me in the hospital for four days because they couldn’t reverse it. That was due to an antibiotic I took that caused electrical system problems with the heart so that shocking the heart back into rhythm didn’t work until the antibiotics half-life was over (4 days). That was the third time I had an afib event While on Zytiga. My oncologist said, You’re not taking that anymore.

At first, she put me on a parp inhibitor But after four days of nightmares, I asked her to switch me over to Darolutamide, And she agreed. That has left me undetectable for the last year. I can take the parp Inhibitor when Darolutamide Fails.

The thing is, If you stop zytiga because it fails (Your PSA rises), you have a smaller chance of having a lutamide Work. Because I switched before Zytiga failed I got really good results.
