Can it be prescribed by doctors only after chemo or others have failed or to non-castrate resistant patients?

No, it is indicated for any metastatic castration-resistant patient.

What if Lupron etc still works? Can it be prescribed and paid by Medicare?

Lupron always works, and is covered

Lupron does eliminate T but it's been around for 40 years and is not good for us. Something should be next!
