I need some advice regarding ZYTIGA. My father is 91 his PSA is 10 he was diagnosed in 2000 and his PSA was .1 a year ago . He saw his urologist and he said he wants my father to start ZYTIGA. I checked with my dad's insurance and my fathers co-payment would be $2700 month Dr. said he would be on it for 11 months to start. I know this will deplete his part D benefit. Does anyone have any experience with this medication or any advice. My dad is currently getting Zoladex injection every 3 months which the Dr. said for him to continue with the ZYTIGA.
My dad is very sharp and although he has other ailments bad arthritis and diabetes he has a great attitude. I just don't want him to loose his spirit or suffer with side effects from the ZYTIGA including the expense.
Please help.
