Abiraterone for Prostate Cancer "Have taken Zytiga for a year now, one pill each morning with a light breakfast since I have difficulty swallowing a pill with just water. PSA has dropped from 32 to 4 and has stayed there over the year, only side effect is slight diarrhea."

For Prostate Cancer "Been on abiraterone for 2 months now, very sick with it. Nausea and vomiting daily. Difficulty keeping food down, diarrhea, extremely tired, in fact, it is miserable and depressing. Chemo stopped working for me, so the doctor advised the abiraterone. I cannot leave the house as I don’t know from hour to hour what the next symptom will be."
