Anyone have Prostate Cancer Stage 4 with good results?

Thanks for your response. After reading a couple comments on here about increasing my prednisone, I asked my oncologist about increasing mine. She said not a good idea as the effects of increasing it could not be good. I see her in January snd I will discuss with her again. Maybe when she sees how exhausted I am just from walking from the parking lot at mayo in phoenix i can get a different opinion from her
Thanks again for the suggestion

I've been on 10 of the prednisone along with zytiga and monthly dose of Firmagon for 20 months. The fatigue has been bad since the beginning. I'm also 70, all I can do is keep pushing. I do walk a lot slower then I use to. I wish you the best on your journey. Best to all.

Hey Kette, your oncologist seems a bit stubborn considering all the positive comments from others concerning increasing prednisone.
Also, can you switch to Orgovyx? We seem to tolerate that a lot better. Sounds like you need a second opinion for these issues. We all confuse the concept of loyalty with reality when it comes to our doctors. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, make them angry with us, etc. Meanwhile, WE pay the price!
