15 months ago at 73, I was diagnosed with a PSA of 925 and a Gleason score of 9 left side 7 right side.The disease had spread to my lymphatic system, but not to my bones, liver or kidneys. I was prescribed Prednisolone/Aberiterone treatment in parallel with standard treatment my PSa has dramatically reduced in a smooth curve and now have a PSA of 0.6 I am told that this is not a cure and am being monitored monthly. I am healthier, with the only side effects being the 'sweats', usually after eating and drinking. I am cycling, walking and gardening a large garden.Read More Read Less

After taking zytiga for 3 months I developed dry mouth, lost 22 pounds, increased urination, dry skin, However, it did lower my PSA but not worth what I am experiencing after being off it four month.
