My father after having 12 cycles of docetoxal was having PSA 0.5ng. Then after one month it increased to 1.8ng. Oncologist advised Arbiterone (Generic form of Zytiga). AFter 7 weeks of arbiterone PSA came to be 5.8ng. We were shocked to see the report i thought it would be less than 1.8ng. Doctor advised to continue arbiterone. is there any use of continuing drug????? My father is perfectly fine with no symptoms. I am so worried
