It was just announced that the FDA has approved the first drug aimed exclusively for those warriors here who’s cancer has not spread but where it has become castration resistant. As this is so new, those that fall into this group may want to share this information with their medical oncologist.

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.
