Hello renee,

Sorry to hear about your husband's rise in PSA and the anxiety this is causing. Have you mentioned your fears that Abiraterone may not be as effective to your husband's consultant? His medical team may be able to guide you and provide an explanation as to why this may be.

We have information on abiraterone here which may be useful to you. If you have any questions, you are also welcome to give our nurses a ring on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

I hope others who have taken abiraterone will come and share their experience with you soon. We do have quite a few members who have had prostate cancer and who may have received similar treatment.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

I wrote a long reply to you but having read what I wrote I deleted it because  it was just too miserable and moany for words!!  I think perhaps it is not something I will do it again but thanks for replying Lucie - it was very kind of you and much appreciated. Take care.......

Hello Renee,

Oh sorry to hear that - I hope you are ok?  I hope you feel better and if there's anything we can do to help, don't hesitate. Our forum has been very busy lately and in responding to you I will have bumped your message back to the top of the forum and hopefully someone with experience of abiraterone will spot it and share their story with you.

Best wishes,

Lucie

N o- theres no need for anyone to reply - its not exactly about the Abiraterone anyway more about the treatment options/time running out.

Thank you anyway - I am sure that this must be a lifeline for some but its not for me...... 

No problem renee we completely understand.

Very best wishes,

Lucie
