Thanks Jeff. We are having a tough time with going off abiraterone + prednisone - very upset stomach with Doug. I don’t think I can make it tonight.

The interesting thing i learned is that having this mutation does not allow abiraterone to work correctly. So now I am wondering why the docs prescribe it. We will see the urologist on the 20th. I will ask the question about AD-V7 and let you know what he says.

You are a treasure. Always keep you in my prayers.

@ellen45 you cannot just stop taking prednisone. You must taper it off over many weeks.. if you don’t, you will have a lot of fatigue. I’m in an ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer meeting right now and they are talking about exactly that tapering it off over a long period of time
