Hi,
I have advanced metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer and as well as my usual three monthly ADT (Lucrin-Depot) injection, I have been offered either Enzalutamide (Xtandi) or Darolutamide (Nubeqa). My PSA is currently below 0.1 due to the Lucrin-Depot.
I am a bit nervous at taking additional drugs but to help me decide, if I do start them, which one is my best option, I have some questions for anyone in this forum who is taking either of these drugs and are also hormone sensitive. Or anyone with comments that may help me with the decision.
1. How are they handling the additional toxicity?
2. Are they having good results?
3. How did they choose which one to take?
4. How long have they been taking them?
5. Do they believe it provides additional life?
What concerns me is these drugs are used when ADT fails, but ADT has not yet failed for me. Will taking these dugs early shorten the effectiveness? Guess that question is for the crystal ball
I thank in advance, anyone who is able to provide me with help in the decision.
