After diagnosis in 2019 followed by chemo, I’ve been on Zoladex implants then had bicalutamide added. As of this weekend my meds have changed to Arbiraterone in place of the bicalutamide (Zoladex continues). Got 3 months worth of Arbiraterone, steroid and lansoprazole on Friday. Needed a shopping trolley to carry the stuff (nearly!). Together with statins, blood pressure meds and thyroxine (thyroid removed donkeys years ago) that’s 10 tablets each morning. I’m still trying to work out a timetable which allows me breakfast at a sensible time!
I would be interested to hear anyone’s experience of Arbiraterone and the associated meds. Feeling fine so far but only 2 days in. I was a bit concerned to read of one guy whose PSA continued to rise even with Arbiraterone. Mine has risen slowly over 18 months to 17.4.
Got an appointment with our GP practice nurse on Thursday who is probably going to tell me to stop eating cheese cos my cholesterol is high. Think I might tell her I use it as a sex substitute.
