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

    i was diagnosed with s4 prostate cancer anger in nov and now on Regulix tablets. Same as injections but tablet form - mine also has metastasised to bones. Can i ask did your husband have chemo while having the injections or has he not had any yet? The reason I ask is that they are recommending I have chemo now and am worried!

    thanks Martin
