User Reviews for Zytiga oral

I AM A 76 YEAR OLD MALE WITH METASTIC PROSTATE CANCER,WHICH HAS SPREAD TO MY BONES. I HAVE HAD CHEMICAL TREATMENTS SUCH AS LUPRON AND ALSO TESTICAL REMOVAL IN ORDER TO LOWER MY TESTOSTRONE, ALL WORKED FOR A WHILE THEN MY PSA STARTED TO RISE. MY DR TOLD ME WHEN IT GOT TO 165 SHE WOULD INSIST I TAKE ZYTIGA. I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND MY LAST PSA TEST ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MY PSA WAS 5.6 I HOPE MY FOURTH BOTTLE BRINGS IT DOWN TO .1 I HOPE, IT IS A VERY EFFECTIVE DRUG..ONLY THING IS YOU HAVE TO TAKE PREDNISONE TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO GAIN A FEW POUNDS..I HAVE NO PAIN ANY MORERead More Read Less

I have been on Zytiga for two months. The constant bone pain went away during the first week of treatment. My PSA dropped from way over 1,000 to the low 90s in 50 days. Life is so normal now, that it is scary; i fear what will happen when the drug hits its nadir. Regardless, life is much better on this drug. The cost however is beyond the pale. It works.

so far excelemt re sults-no side effects

After failing to get results with Taxotere my oncologist switched me to Zytiga. At that point my PSA had erupted to 208. In one month of Zytiga it dropped to 123 and now at the two-month mark it is 59.

No side effects at all. I have regained most of health back in less than 2 months. PSA down from 599 to 32

My husband has been on the drug for two months and we already have had positive results. Sadly our insurance company is taking it away from him and making him do the hard core chemo..Hope it will cost them more in the long run!

Have not yet taken zytiga, but will be soon! Anyone out there using or has used this drug, please post a remark!!
