Reaching out to fellow warriors, yet again, for advice. It has been very helpful in the past.
After a little over 2-years ADT has failed for me since Jan 2022. Cancer is spreading fast - PSMA PET scan found 8 new spots in my bones. The pain gets a bit worse every day in my ribs and pelvis.
My oncologist has talked about a few options - Apalutamide, immunotherapy, chemotherapy. LU-177 is only available to me in a randomized trial (50% get a placebo). As I understand, from all the available options for us LU-177 has shown the best results. I know some of you have done LU-177 already, can someone please give me a cost estimate for the treatment, I want to see if I can afford it.
What do I do now? Maybe try chemo and if that does not work, at least LU-177 will be an option then?
With fast spreading Gleason 9, it seems my time may be running out! While I have made some plans for my 13-year-old son (single dad), I would like to further solidify my son's position post me. I know it is not a fair question but does anyone want to give me a guess on how much time I may have to wind up my affairs? I know I should be ready every day but I still have to work to put bread on the table.
Thanks in advance for your advice ๐
