You would be hard-pressed to find a doctor better than Doctor Paller. She’s one of the best.

I was on Zytiga For 2 1/2 years, It was not good for my heart, but it gave me 2 1/2 more years before I started Darolutamide. I was also on Biclutamide For a little over a year before Zytiga, My PSA rose every month while I was on it.

Actually, everybody on ADT should be on an ARPI as well. That can delay the time it takes to become castrate resistant. Something being on ADT alone becomes problematic.

Keep A close watch on your blood pressure, Zytiga Gave me high blood pressure though it doesn’t do it for everyone.

Thanks for the tips, Jeff. And I should thank you for recommending her in the first place.
Also on the subject of length of time on the drugs, she recommends two years for me (for both drugs) because two lymph nodes were positive.
