Thanks for your input. Do you have some experience with Abiraterone? If so was it successful?
I agree with your assessment and hope that zytiga is discontinue soon.
The studies don't seem to mention "CURE" when mets are present but the "PA" at Mayo Phoenix did use that term in October. We'll talk about it at my Jan 30 Appointment .
Thanks for responding.

On it for 8 months with Lupron for biochemical reoccurrence when CT showed no cancer. Yes it was successful for bringing and keeping the PSA undetectable but once I stopped PSA returned. It is never deemed a cure to the cancer just slows its progression down giving you more years of life but less quality of life.
