Abiraterone definitely isn’t the friend of the person using it. Causes a lot of side effects. I was on it for 2 1/2 years and the only advantage I can think is that it gave me 2 1/2 more years before I moved on to Nubeqa.
If Yonsa works for you That would be good to know. Please come back and tell us what happened after your trying it out.
If you’re going to have to pick a second drug to replace abiraterone the best one is Nubeqa. All of the lutamides essentially have the same results, nubeqa has the least amount of side effects of any of them. I’ve been on it almost 2 years and I’ve been undetectable for 19 months, When I took abiraterone I was only undetectable one month out of 2 1/2 years.

What were the side effects you found with Abiraterone? My husband had his fifth radiation treatment today but he has started having some diarrhea. The technician said that he is pretty early into the radiation for the diarrhea to be caused by the radiation.
I am trying to learn all I can for my husband.

With more sensitive scans these days patients should be getting more complete radiation than in the original trial that established abirateone. Maybe the benefit of abiraterone could be more redundant or less additive, I don’t know.
