Apalutamide for Prostate Cancer "I'll be honest, I took Erleada for 7 days. The side effects were hot flashes, swelling, and dizziness, so I stopped taking it and went back to my oncologist. He basically told me that I have 2 choices: take the Erleada and live, or don't take it and die, as I'm in stage 4 metastatic with no chance of being cured. Despite all that, my PSA has dropped to 0.06 from 16."

For Prostate Cancer "It is working the way it is intended to, but my husband suffered so badly from the hot flashes and excessive sweating with any sort of physical effort after the first year of treatment, that he landed in the hospital with very low sodium of 123 (normal is 135). This caused him to fall three days in a row and was too weak to walk. I had to have the ambulance come and take him. Thankfully, he did not break any bones. Patients should be advised to stay hydrated with electrolytes and have their sodium monitored."

Apalutamide for Prostate Cancer "I have been on Erleada for almost 5 months. My PSA has been undetectable for 2.5 months. The side effects are very difficult, mainly the bone pain, hot flashes, loss of energy, I am weak and frail."
