You are about where I was 26 years ago. If I may ask how old are you and what is your general health? this would critical in the course of your treatment. It depends on your general health and age radiation may be one of the next steps.

Please do not take offense at my question, but are you being treated in the U.S.? Has your oncologist discussed his preferred ADT after the bicalutamide, or will he consider adding Lupron to it?

He had an orchiectomy so Lupron is not useful.

Not what you're looking for?
