So...I was on lupron injection program and it worked for a year keeping my psa at bay below 4. Recently my psa doubled and I was switched over to eligard.

Recently added Zytiga and prednisone which is NOT

Working. Psa up to 20. I’m told I’m going to get switched to another drug and chemo.... Mets are starting to spread...🥺 any thoughts?

Chemo, definitely. What other drug?

Try Enzalutamide (Xtandi), in place of Zytiga and prednisone.

Consider getting genetic testing, which can determine an effective treatment option.
