Stop zytiga/prednisone at 24 months required?

My husband was on Zytiga with prednisone for three years and it kept his Stage 4 prostate cancer in remission. His urologist at Mayo and GU oncologist in Indianapolis said to stay on it until it quit working, so he did. They never mentioned a need to stop before that point.

My plan was to stay with the zytiga/pred/eligard as long as possible since it is working thru 18 months and I am dealing with the side effects. Can I infer your husbands psa began rising? Doesn't this indicate castration resistance, making the follow-up course of action more complicated?
