Abiraterone It’s very hard on the heart. It gave me high blood pressure, Five afib Events and many hot flashes.

It is not appropriate at all for somebody with heart issues. I had not had an afib event for 15 years before starting Abbie. I’m getting an echocardiogram tomorrow and I know the reason I have to do it is because I was on that drug for 2 1/2 years.

Nubeqa Works really well all by itself most people. I know a lot of guys in their late 70s and 80s that are on Nubeqa Alone and they are doing quite well. It’s suppresses testosterone’s ability to work with the prostate cancer.

As usual, thanks Jeff for your thoughtful and informative reply! I do wonder if all my heart issues were related to Abiraterone and not the change from Elligard to Orgovyx. Thanks for the Nubeqa suggestion.

I guess we'll see what my echocardiogram says. Good luck with yours! I wish you well and hope for a positive outcome.
