In response to your request @ambika, my medical oncologist took me off aberaterone/prednisone when bloodwork showed problems developing with my liver (after only six months?, as I remember), which concerned him enough to stop that treatment: the aberaterone abruptly, the prednisone tapered.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I thought Lupron or Orgovyx are first generation ADT and Second Generation ADT drugs like Abiraterone/Prednisone can be added to the first. It looks like you started off with Abiraterone and then had to stop it due to side-effects and then started Lupron. I believe one should start off with Lupron .
Sorry to hear about side-effect (liver function). It appears to be that Abiraterone is affecting a big majority of patients negatively and only a small percent of patients escaped its serious side-effects.
