Timing of Doublet/Triplet therapies.

Aged 60 when Diagnosed Stage 3 in December 2016 - dealt with using radiation Please see profile for further information.

Chemical recurrence in 2020 - more radiation treatment plus Casodex

Feb '22, Casodex dropped, so Decapeptyl only treatment since then.

PSA has dropped from <0.08 in March 21 and has been less than that, mostly <0.03, over the past two years.

My question is this - should I be getting Doublet or Triplet therapy at this stage, rather than waiting to become castrate resistant? or are these therapeutic options only suitable for recently diagnosed papients?

Had bone scan recently and no new cancer identified.

I'm a public patient in Ireland and never see the same consultant twice.

I am grateful that I'm still alive and relatively well, eight years on from dx, and really want to do what I can to continue living. Any advice from members of this forum would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

Deaglan
