What's the best combination with Xtandi after orchiectomy?
Genetic tests are negative. Learning what are options available with Xtandi so I can talk to my MO better.

Castrate levels of Testosterone
My husband's testosterone level is 3nmol/L (86.5 ng/100ml). In the past year, his levels have ranged between 2-8 nmol/L. He's on quarterly Zoladex. I understand that castrate levels are ideally < 20 ng/100ml. If I understand correctly, his testosterone should be much lower. Can anyone please shed

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also
