Maybe it's old news, but I just had it send to me and thought it worthwhile to pass it along. Perhaps some hope for the more advanced cases.

I was thinking specifically of you, David and Sonny3, when I read it. Sure would be nice if this development turned out to be what it seems to be.
Wishing you all the best.

Thanks Mag, only thing I see wrong with it is that you have to become HT resistant before you can even think about taking it. So you go through the HT issues long enough to become resistant then you can take the drug.

Not a pretty picture, but I guess it beats the heck out of the alternatives.

Thanks again,

Sonny

Yes, perhaps I jumped the gun a bit, but it can't hurt to be informed and prepared. I hope that non of us will have to use the stuff, but it's good to know that it is there. . . . just in case.
Good things on you and Lynn.

BTW it is also FDA approved - http://www.zytiga.com/pdf/press_release.pdf

I know Mag, thanks, but it is a kinda scary thought process ain't it.

Always glad to see another possibility to keep this thing tamed. Another arrow in our Quiver - so to speak.
