Why has my husband been taken off Enzolutamide?

Hi All,

My husband of 61 has been on enzolutamide for 2 years now after being diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate cancer which has spread to spine and pelvis.  He has to have the 3 monthly injections and Androlic Acid tablets.  He doctor told us over the phone last week that they are thinking of taking him off the Enzolutamide tablets, but we don't know why?   He's psa has been at 0.01 for over 18mths now, so it's not because the psa has gone up !!!    We have another telephone appointment with the Onc. Next week.  But I'm worried.
why take him off them ????    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Hi l can't help with why he's been taken off his treatment but some are given for a set time ie two years,  or three years then discontinued. 

    Do make a list with your husband of any questions that you need answered before they ring you back. We all forget our questions as soon as we see or speak with our consultants. I have found it helps me to remember everything. 
    take care
