@northoftheborder , maybe that’s her issue? Cost, her kickbacks, etc. I am still waiting and seeing how I approach. I’d really like to know why she said, “it’s not approved in this situation.”

What ADT medicine did or do you take? How are/were the side effects now that you’re off Zytiga? Or did they just remove the Prednisone?

Thank you

@sriddle1 I was on steroids to try to bring down the swelling in my spine. I was lucky enough to start on Apalutamide right away in 2021, since the TITAN study had just demonstrated a dramatic benefit from starting ADT and Apalutamide together for my situation (metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer — mCSPC), and my oncologists were tracking the latest research.

For ADT, I started on monthly Firmagon injections, then moved to Orgovyx when it became available in Canada in early 2024 (it's basically the same as Firmagon but in daily pill form — big quality of life improvement over the injections).

I'm pretty sure you can't take Zytiga without Prednisone, but I'm not writing that fron personal experience.
