"I have been on Nubeqa now for 1 year after almost 2 years on chemo where I had no quality of life and was ready to give up, then I switched doctors and he put me on Nubeqa and I was so happy. After 30 days I went back to my doctor for a check-up and he asked me how I was doing. I told him, 'Doc, this new med is AWESOME. I feel like a human being again.' Only one side effect: constipation. It's not great, but it's so much better than what I had before. My PSA is now 0.01. I'm going to have another PET scan in a few days and I feel great, so I am thinking it's going to be a good one. I did do the Lupron shot, but I switched to Orgovyx and had a few hot flashes for about the first month, but now none, so life is great. I can do everything I want to do. One thing that is very important while you're battling this cancer is your diet. Best if you eat lots of green veggies, stay away from sugar and carbs. I have now lost 40 pounds and feel great, so I give Nubeqa a 10."

"A little background: I had my prostate removed in 2011. My PSA was undetectable for a year and a half, but began rising. I was then irradiated for two consecutive months in 2015. The radiation got my PSA down near undetectable for a couple of years. After that, it started climbing, reaching a level of 1.0. I underwent the new PET scan, which showed a 13 mm tumor in my prostate bed as well as a spread into both sides of the bladder neck muscle and a spread into both seminal vesicles. I was then placed on androgen deprivation, which reduced my PSA for about four years, but then my PSA went up 5 consecutive times and I was declared castrate resistant. I didn't want to go on chemo, so my doctor put me on Nubeqa. My experience with Nubeqa has been quite positive. While not yet on the full dose, my PSA was halved in six weeks. I am on the full dose and have a lab at the end of July, where I expect good news. I have fatigue and hot flashes, a small concession for more years of life."

"My prostate cancer has spread throughout my body, especially my cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. A peculiar side effect of the progression of the cancer was one of my testicles actually swelled up considerably larger than the other one. Once on Nubeqa, the swelling of the testicle went down substantially back to what I call normal. If it could do that, I’m sure it’s helping with the cancer itself. I’m 66 years old, 5 foot 10, and 183 pounds. I’ve had no side effects that I can tell from taking Nubeqa."

"I was started on Nubeqa when I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 4 years ago. It has helped me a lot. My side effects have been pretty light: just joint and muscle pain. I also changed my diet and started exercising. The Nubeqa and lifestyle changes got my PSA from 191 when I was diagnosed down to undetectable for over 3 years. 300 mg, two tablets twice a day."

"I have been taking Nubeqa for 3 years now. Started taking as a result of my prior treatment with just Lupron Depot injections becoming much less effective. Nubeqa along with Lupron Depot lowered my PSA from an increasing 2.675 to 0.240 in 2 months time and lowered it again to 0.086 after another 2 months time. The same treatment of Nubeqa along with a Lupron Depot injection has kept my PSA below 0.01 for 3 years now. No noticeable side effects or interactions with my BP meds. It is very expensive but I applied for co-pay assistance which along with my Medicare coverage has lowered my copay to 0."

"I started on NUBEQA as a triplet therapy with Doxatel and Zoladex ADT in May 2022 for stage 4 extensive metastasis with PSA at 5052 at diagnosis. After starting and continuing on this, my PSA readings dropped to unreadable. PET scan after chemotherapy showed amazing results with no active areas on a follow-up PET after triplet therapy. Late 2024, PSA started to rise. Another PET showed two areas located, and SABRE radiation treated whilst continuing with NUBEQA. Sep 2025, PSA increased from 0.8 to 2.2. PET scan identified 5 areas to be treated with Cabazitaxel and Prednisolone this week - Dr. said to stop taking NUBEQA as it stopped its effectiveness for me now. I did not have any side effects from NUBEQA, only hot flushes from Zoladex ADT, but that was okay for me. I am still here."

"PSA 10, biopsy showed almost all samples positive. Surgery in 2008. First PSA after surgery still 10! Next, radiation plus started Lupron. Hated Lupron every 3 months. Then did an alternate schedule - waited until PSA got back up then Lupron. This worked pretty well, and I felt great when the Lupron wore off. Eventually, this stopped working, so added Xtandi and back to every 3 months injections. This sapped all my energy and felt like a glob of primeval ooze. Then eventually stopped Xtandi and felt better immediately. Now, present day I have cancer showing up on my spine even though PSA around 1. Slowly increasing like next test might be 1.26. Hmmmm....? So now on Nubeqa too, starting at half dosage and again all my energy sapped. Feel like I'm hanging on by a thread, primeval ooze too."

"I had adverse problems with Xtandi. I was switched to Nubeqa, and I am not aware of experiencing any adverse effects. I have been taking Nubeqa for over two years. It is keeping my PSA and testosterone levels exactly where they are supposed to be. Easy to take, two 300 mg tabs in the morning and two at night."

"Medical team suspended Lupron treatments for three months due to fatigue. PET scan revealed a lesion on my hip bone. Began Lupron again and added Nubeqa. Within three months, PET scan revealed the hip bone lesion was gone. I am still shocked by the costs I was given for this medication. A 30 supply retailed at $18,323. Totally unbelievable. Was able to secure assistance from my Cancer Center and quickly hit my Medicare copayment deductible. I still cannot believe this drug can be priced at this level. I certainly would like to see the justification for this."

"Nubeqa worked very well for about 2 years to keep my PSA at a low level. However, my prostate cancer is a very aggressive type, and now my PSA is increasing even while on Eligard and Nubeqa and having used other anti-cancer treatments. I may ask to increase my Nubeqa dosage."

"From September 1 to today, October 23, 2026, I am taking this along with Orgovyx for high-grade metastatic prostate cancer. The daily dosage is 1200 mg. My PSA in July 2026 was 651, now it's 140. A 30-day log I conducted, observing a number of personal parameters, concluded no minor or major side effects, other than slight lower leg muscle tightness, very minor headache, and being warmer than usual. Not full-blown hot flashes. There has been and is blood in the urine, which is undetermined at this reading."

"Makes you tired, loss of muscle strength. Taking any cancer med will change your style of life. It is up to the person if he wants to put up with the side effects."
