Our MO just said Firmagon was quicker and better for mets, especially if he's having pain.

He falls into the crack between newly diagnosed and castration resistance. The other therapies like Zytiga, Xtandi, Taxotere, Xofigo and Provenge are not approved for patients who are recurrent but hormone sensitive.

He could radiate them with SBRT as I’ve done along with ADT.
