Hi all, Age 72. In good health. I'd like to get some advice on my case.

Hello, I am 53 and live in the UK and I stop smoking in my late 20’. I had a lobectomy of my right lower lobe in April 2022 to remove a minimally invasive adenocarcinoma staged pT1 N0, M0, PL0, R0 (found by complete accident on an abdomen CT scan.) I begged for adjuvant therapy after the operation

I'm writing this in pure agony in hopes, that it might help someone in the future. My father is castrate resistant and when Xtandi stopped working, his MO put him on dexamethasone + abiraterone + Lynparza (olaparib). This combo is now registered in European Union even for men without BRCA mutation

Richter's Transformation treatments are typically fixed term R-CHOP*, or modifications of that chemoimmunity therapy.

So, instead of a planned 5 session cyberknife treatment to the prostate only ( when the PCa was thought to be confined to the prostate), my doc is putting me on 3 cyberknife

I'm hoping to learn what roadblocks anyone encountered in asking to use Orgovyx instead of Lupron, etc as part of radiation treatment. Resistance from prescribing ROs? Problems with Part D drug coverage ? Advantage plans...Kaiser , etc............that would and wouldn't cover at least some of the $2700

Im 46 F. Mild on/off non bothering pain for 2 year's. If it was a serious problem, would it have got worse by now as it hasnt and just comes and goes since then?

I found this article last week about HRT and rheumatoid arthritis risk in my online magazine …. I know a lot of US use HRT and thought this article might be of interest. I don’t have the actual magazine its online subscription… sorry. This link might actually get you to this article! https://www.wddty.com

Today I start a clinical trial for ARV-766, an AR degrader. I'm coming in at phase 2, and they are only accepting men who have one of 4 point mutations in the AR - I have two.
