Thanks Walt, I did see this, It is great news, I am hoping we can get it in metastatic soon as well. The one I am waiting for is Darolutamide. Sitting in the waiting room now waiting to get my first cabitaxol.

Good luck and stay strong! I think that if we all can hang on long enough there will be new advances we can use.
