Took my first Xtandi pills last night. Boy, are those WHOPPERS! I take heartburn medicine that Xtandi dampens (omeprazole), but...hey!

I'm hoping this works, and I can give Xtandi a "Xtanding Ovation"!!

Sequoia, best wishes and results for you on this treatment. My husband is on it too and will be for at least another month!

Best of luck...I'm on ARN-509 which is a similar drug (Phase II Trial).....been on 6 months, PSA is 0.05...I have to take 8 of these guys every morning and they are whoppers as well.....the only side effect is severe stomach discomfort/cramps for about 20 minutes then I'm good for the day.

Thanks, all, for the encouragement. Been only taking them for a week, and I *DO* seem to have lost a little spunk (not much to lose, either). I don't want to be "bedridden". It's bad enough just "slogging" through the day as it is. Of course, "bed rest" is the best thing for those "ill", but....

Cheers!
