This sounds VERY good.

I figure that the Taxotere and CNTO (328) trial will give me at least
that much time. I'm not stopping the trial as it is working well for
me.

I'm beginning to understand that this really is a maintenance, keep at
it, deal.

I'm guessing that abiraterone will move to the head of the list of
secondary treatments, maybe to the absolute front of the list if it
works long enough. Could that be? Newly diagnosed could go on
abiraterone and surgery and radiation would be held in reserve?

One striking thing in the articles is that they applied it to
advanced, aggressive cases and it gave good results. I didn't see
anything about failures. The articles did mention that abiraterone
didn't work for everyone.

Yeah, this is great news for all of us.

Mike pointed us to this audio report a few months ago. Thank you,
Mike.

Where Peter Scardino discusses Abiraterone and also MDV 3100, from
Medarex and Howard Scher. Note: in the listing of the Scardino
interview Track 5 is actually about MDV 3100 and Track 7 is AA, as
listed. Scardino believes that these two together, with chemo could
provide long lasting remission for men with metastatic prostate
cancer. I have a dream.

That does look like a possibility.

Think I'll celebrate by giving the �1 Normandy plonk a miss tonight
and open a half-decent shiraz to go with my honey-roasted duck-breast.

I'll drink to your health.

Sorry, hadn't realised this was old news. The radio clip was this
morning a.m.

But I got the impression it was hoped that this would be a relatively
low toxicity replacement for chemo, rather than an addition to it.
Then again, I suppose there are those who will want to hit it with
everything.
