Apalutamide for Prostate Cancer "Been on Erleada for 2.5 months. Was previously on Bicalutamide, but PSA started rising to 2.6. After 2 mos, PSA dropped to 0.23, so it appears to be working well. Changed to a plant-based diet and I continue to workout 5 days a week. Side effects have been hardly felt, however, consist of very slight off & on joint pain at night and/or in the gym. Lost some weight, occasional fatigue (but nothing a 20 min power nap can't take care of), no hot flashes at all, no ED, no skin rashes, no diarrhea at all. Hoping next PSA check drops it even lower, but so far so good. Well tolerated."
