Hi Jeff,
That description sounds pretty much like my husband’s case. However his Decipher score is high .88 and he has been taking high blood pressure medication for last 10 years.
Initially his GU Medical Oncologist didn’t think Abiraterone or any second generation drug will be necessary in his case but later he seemed to agree on adding Abiraterone to his Orgovyx. It sounds like a grey zone — Abiraterone could benefit and fight cancer more effectively or may not be necessary at all.
If side-effects in his case are easily manageable then one can continue with Abiraterone in hope of fighting cancer more effectively. It is difficult choice.
