Abiraterone for Prostate Cancer "Started taking 1000 mg of Zytiga almost 3 weeks ago, but having difficulty with weakness and pain in legs; it got so bad I was unable to walk. I was also extremely tired, but not sure if that is from Zytiga or morphine I need to take also. My prostate cancer found in Feb 2011, Gleason score 9/10; prostate removed May 2011; radiation in 2014, then tumor found in 2018. Started Lupron in 2019. My PSA score was never above 4.0 even prior to surgery when it was in 75% of prostate and had spread outside my prostate in several places. Hoping to switch to another medication that has fewer side effects for me. I am only 65."

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."
