Have you used Nubeqa or Zytiga?

Posted by badeyeaz @badeyeaz, Aug 1, 2023

I am currently being treated with Degarelix and radiation, but I’ve been offered to add Zytiga or Nubiqa to the mix. I’m trying to run down some first hand experience with the side effects of either Nubeqa or Zytiga. Would appreciate any opinions on either of those two meds.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

@badeyeaz, I'm tagging fellow members @mmacaulay @round5 @agustinferrari @scullrower who have experience with darolutamide (Nubeqa) to join this discussion.

There are few discussions about Zytiga in the group. Here's one to get you started:
- Zytiga for Prostate Cancer https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/zytiga/

Did you decide which treatment to go on?

@badeyeaz, I have been with Nubeqa for 1 year now, major side effect: Libido = 0. Hot flashed bothers a little bit, but in my case not too much. There is bone density loss but will combat it with weight lifting and walking, taking calcium etc....

In my case really the worst its libido, but, I'm alive! and in good shape and excellent quality if like (considering the scenario) that is the most important thing!

hope for the best,
