What if this prevents cancer from becoming resistant?

@jeffmarc Thanks. however, could there be a reason to take a full dose when half a dose seems to have done its job by keeping my PSA at undetectable?

I can only imagine the problem could be that you could become resistant to the low level of the drug sooner than if you took the full dose. When I cut back on abiraterone dose from 4 pills to threeMy PSA started rising immediately. Within 18 days it Rose from .2 to 1. I went back on the full dose and my PSA went back down to undetectable. I was castrate resistant to ADT, however so it alone would not work.
You might ask the doctor about this.
If you are still on ADT and have not become castrate resistant to it then the amount of drug you take is really not that relevant since the ADT alone will keep your PSA undetectable.
