That great. I may have to ask my research doctor if I could go down to 1 pill of xtandi per day. Congratulations on 24 years.

I know some doctors say reduce the dose of u can't take the side effects. I think a reduced dose may mean you'll shorten the effectiveness. I can't prove that though.

But you have to watch your testosterone levels if your not receiving the lupron shot.
