What Would You Advise Please?

1 Reply

I am 72 years old living in Germany and still teaching out of existential needs. My wife is bedridden with heart insufficiency and in constant pain, with rheumatism We have a brilliant 11-year-old son to care for who is entering 11 grade.

I have recently been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer Gleason 8 with metastasis in lymph nodes and cervical spinal column.

I have been advised to begin: ADT ( GnRH Antagonist) in combination with Apalutamid or Enzalutamide or Abiraterone /Prednisolon or Docetaxel.

My questions are which of the suggested medications/therapies should I choose if at all (...perhaps do nothing and just let it alone)?

Have you had experience with it? What are the side effects experienced?

THANK YOU!
