I’ve not been on here for a while but I’m pleased to say that, after 4+ years since my stage 4 diagnosis, I’m still alive and my PSA is still undetectable and I realise that I’m incredibly lucky. I’m doing my best to make the most of it whilst I’m still fit and well and over the last two weekends I’ve taken on two huge challenges and absolutely pushed myself to the limits of my physical and mental endurance and this is my blog that I’ve written about it. It’s a 10 minute read but I think you’ll like it.

Two cannibals named Ectomy and Prost, all alone on a Desert island.
Prost was the strongest, so Prost ate Ectomy.
Yes, a good read. I would have been on the bus half way through day one. It's excellent news you are still undetectable four years on, and that you can fight the fatigue of HT.

Hi Loz
I started on 1000mg daily but that impaired my liver function. We played around with lower doses and everything eventually settled down on 500mg daily and my PSA still remains, remarkably, undetectable
Yes, it’s taken on an empty stomach. I take mine first thing in the morning when the alarm goes off. Then, an hour later, I take my other meds, particularly the steroid that you need when on Abi, with food
Hi Tony
Please could I ask what dose of abiraterone you were put on when it was reduced and are you still on it? Hope it's remained effective for you and that you're doing very well. I'm trying to learn about all options for my Dad who may be going on abi soon. He has another health condition which is also a consideration.
Warm wishes
Loz
That's great Tony, thanks so much for getting back to me. Do you take it on an empty stomach?
Thanks for that Tony. It's great to hear you're doing well too π
