1st PSA test seven weeks after surgery

The OP seems to have non-metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC). I can't find anywhere that says Abiraterone (Zytiga) is approved for that, but I may have missed something.
As @jeffmarc and @thmssllvn wrote, Abiraterone has been approved for metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) for quite a few years. Apalutamide (Erleada), Enzalutamide (Xtandi), and Darolutamide (Nubeqa) are also approved for mCSPC.

Hi @northoftheborder ,
I have my first MO meeting on Wednesday, I’ll reply to this thread when I know what the plan is. My RO suggested that I may be prescribed multiple ADT drugs but did not elaborate, although he agrees with me that my cancer needs to be fought very aggressively due to all the negative findings during biopsy and prostatectomy. All 19 of my lymph nodes taken out during surgery were clean but it’s just a matter of time until problem gets worse with out aggressive treatment. For example, I have LVI so that will need to be addressed. What is the best way to do that? Hopefully MO will know.
Thanks!
