The Holy Grail

One bottle of 28 tablets - £750.
Abiraterone Acetate (Zytiga). NOT available on prescription.

It isn't the financial cost, it is the human cost.

Possibly the worst day of my life - watching Tony (advanced metastatic prostate cancer) try and justify to a brash young doctor why he should be given the chance to live.

1x emergency life-saving operation and 5 months later we obtained it direct from the NHS by 'self pay'.

Tony latest:
Sleeping more than usual. Hardly any back pain, still on steroids and morphine patches.

Abiraterone Acetate (Zytiga) prolongs life for advanced prostate cancer sufferers. It is only available in the UK on clinical trials. NICE have only approved it for use after chemotherapy.
