Always uplifting to see a story like this...thanks for the post!!!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
The miracle drug was Enzalutamide (Xtandi) Here's a link to the story: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/a... Here's the lead to the story: "Gary Hooker, 65, is one of the longest-surviving patients in the world treated with a breakthrough pill for advanced prostate cancer.
The former school caretaker was enrolled on a clinical trial for enzalutamide, which stops testosterone fuelling the tumours’ growth."
Thanks for the link. Nice video interview with the miracle man.
So why aren't we all recieving this drug????
That's a valid question CountryJoe but individual circumstances and side-effects differ as can be attested by Loves2golf below and this entry: healthunlocked.com/advanced...
In short, it may not be for everyone, or, at least, consideration of their cancer progression, previous treatments, and side-effects make Xtandi problematic as a treatment for everyone.
Glad this drug worked for him. It took away my husband’s quality of life, making just walking difficult.
