Hi, I am looking for success stories from people with bone mets on triplet therapy. My husband is on lupron and nubeqa and will hopefully start chemo soon. Gleason 8, mets to bladder, lymph nodes, and pelvis/hips. Thank you.

Jojo, there is a member of my group in France whose husband has had success (how long will it endure?) with his 6 treatments. He finished the 6 treatments on April 20 or 21 and is doing well, though tired, building "sheds" with his 4 daughters and camping out in the south of France where they located to get Lu. The member reports he has pain and is tired but keeps going. I know they were looking into Lu on Nov. 15 of '22, so he started his 6 treatments after that. He had exhausted every other possible treatment. She posted pics this morning.

She has not mentioned trying for more cycles of Lu when the 6 fail.

My husband (diagnosed last year) is on triple therapy and finished his 6 chemo treatments in December. They just switched him back to Firmagon from Lupron because his numbers went back up recently. He has blood work scheduled for the 18th. His major complaint is fatigue but he is doing well. Doctor told us to travel and do things while he feels well so we went to Florida in March and had a wonderful time! Finding joy in every day we have together. Just celebrated 41 years married in May. Wishing your husband many good years ahead and success with his treatments! 🙏
