You need to be aware of the side effects of Zytiga. I was on it for 2 1/2 years. He gave me high blood pressure something I never had before. Six years later, I’m still on three blood pressure medication’s twice a day. It also caused me multiple Afib Events, One putting me in the hospital for four days. What I’m getting at is that it is hard on the heart. I had a lot of hot flashes from Lupron, which is the same as Eligard. I was able to get on a hormone that stopped the hot flashes, but then I started abiraterone And the hot flashes came back pretty significantly.

It lowers your testosterone a lot more than Eligard, So you may find you have fatigue from it. I’ve worked with some people that have had severe fatigue and 5 mg of prednisone was not enough. They had to move up to 10 mg in order to eliminate the severe fatigue.. You just have to see how well it works for you. Some people don’t have problems with it. I know someone who was on it for five years without significant issues.. He did have to have open-heart surgery after five years, however, Can’t say for sure it was Zytiga.

Just some things to be aware of.
