I can't say I really enjoyed my appointment with my oncologist yesterday.
I am to continue with my current medication, enzalutamide, though at a stronger dose> I am to take morphine to counteract the worst side effect, muscle pain. This will also help with the ache I have in my pelvis, where I had radiation.
When the drug fails -- whenever that may be -- our next step will be chemotherapy. We have, I am told, exhausted all other options.
I am glad my oncologist told me that (I had to ask what comes next). The news gives me time to prepare, whether it be a month, a year or (one can wish) a decade.
