@lacraig1 Yes, and since it's out of patent, you can get generic Abieraterone (same thing) down there in the States for much less than that: about US $20–40/month from CostPlus, + under $10/month for the Prednisone. So even someone without insurance can afford it.

By comparison, Apalutamide costs US $16,000/month down there. It doesn't require you to take a steroid, and it has show astounding results in big trials like TITAN (and in my personal experience: it has literally given me my life back), but your insurers will steer you away from it because of the $$$.

However, if it turns out to be the steroid that's making your life miserable, you might be able to make a case for one of the -lutamides.

(For me, the Ontario government pays "only" CA $3,374/month — about US $2,450 — for my Apalutamide, because drugs cost less outside the U.S.).

Best of luck!
