Cribriform present: What does this biopsy finding mean?

Yes. The side effects are intense. Fatigue and the hot flashes,
and the same as you said, simple everyday task are difficult.
Also gaining weight because of the prednisone.
I will be returning to see the Radiologist Oncologist in March to see if I am
now a candidate for radiation. Given the extent of the cancer I was told to try
the Zytiga and Lupron and follow up with scans in 4 months, which we did and
some of the tumors have decreased in size. So, hoping for the best.

Nice to see a reduction in the tumors. It makes the treatment more meaningful and worth the side effects.
I took 7 days off Zytiga and Prednisone and saw a remarkable improvement in brain power and ambition. I'll be back on meds tomorrow. I'll be asking my Docs if an occasional "med vacation " is acceptable every 3 mos or so as a moral booster. I've been on these meds for 6 mos and lupron for 12 mos. Good Luck with upcoming scans.
