I have been battling prostate cancer for the past seven years. I have had all the usual treatments like hormone and radiation but it has proved to no avail.Since I have been accepted into a trial in January 2010, my PSA has halved, and three major tumors have begun to shrink. The sooner this drug is made available worldwide more lives will be saved

I would like to get Abiraterone for my father. Has somebody heard anything about when are they going to make it public? My father and many people are running out of time and we need this medicine ASAP. Meanwhile I found this petition on internet. Please sing it and spread the word. Maybe they can speed up the process of approving it. Please let us know if anyone has additional information about Abiraterone approval.
