My 5th year of cancer

 

 The past few years I felt more energetic, more active and more positive.  Especially last year I really feel good as all my test result and CT scan came back with good news.  But this year is different.  My PSA keep going up and now my fingers are numbed and have no strength - sarcopenia (I think).  My spinal cord and ribs ache so much I could not sleep, swim and do my usual morning exercise.  Feels like I am going downhill.

 

Abiraterone Acetate

 After a year on enzalutamide (Xtandi) I cannot control my PSA which keeps going up to more than 100 points.  I cannot take the full course which should be 4 tablets a day as even when I tried to take 3 tablets a day I suffered extreme body ache.  Now I changed to abiraterone plus prednisone (steroid).  

I started with 3 tablets on my 1st bottle.  Now I am on to my 2nd bottle and I am going full course, that is, 4 tablets a day.  I will be having my blood test early next month and I hope to see better result.

In order to save costs I am taking generic product and purchased online.  This way I saved 50% of the cost.
