Still need advice

Ok guys I’ve got about eight days to decide about dynamo trial at MDAnderson. I’m 61 had casodex rad surgery, radiation and lupron injections every 3 months. I’ve never had two drugs at once but individually not working. Overall I feel great and don’t have any issues except BP which is controlled well.they say I’m stage 4 but no bone Mets, only in a few lymph nodes by pelvic area and now up near rib. Not sure why they didn’t put me on two meds first but now they say that would disqualify me. My Dr is Araujo at MD Anderson. Don’t know if better trials or if gold nano particle is option etc. they just kind of said you need to do this trial. Any insight to trial or help in my decision would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Scott

What Gold nanoparticle trial are you talking about? DYNAMO is an excellent trial.

UT injects gold particles and then laser heats them up. They attach to cancer cells but I think that is only good for non metastatic.

I wasn't aware of any gold nanoparticle clinical trials for pc. Someone at UT recommended it? What is the clinicaltrials.gov #?

Hey guy! The hardest part is making up your mind . I too was stage#4 in terrible shape and I did a trial drug . It’s worked well so far .. There is much hope in a trial . T_A says it’s a great trial .....if it were I , I would do it. That’s just me , I’ll try anything to push PC from my doorstep into the street. This is a battle for life . The more you do now the better you chance to extend life. Once youve decided , then there ain’t no loooking back ,it’s time to get busy killing the cancer then healing from the side effects. I’ll follow your progress and expect good things .. Keep the faith... Scott also in Az🌵
