I’ve been on Apalutamide for 3 years.I take Lupron injections every 4 months.Previously I was on Bicalutamide and Degaralix monthly injections.Apart from the usual side effects I now have osteoporosis.This past winter I had 3 compression fractures in my spine.Now I will be on Prolea to combat the osteoclastic activity.It’s not easy but better than the alternative.I manage to live with the side effects however unpleasant.There may be new treatment options coming but best to stay the course with what medical research will provide us with.I joke and say that if Musk or Bezos would have prostate cancer then maybe a cure would be available.In no way do I wish these men to have Prostate Cancer.This disease is not for sissies.

When Mr. Musk first came out with Space-X, it exploded on the launchpad. His new Cybertruck catches fire randomly and there's no easy way out from the back seat.

If he came out with a prostate-cancer treatment, I don't think I'd be first in line to volunteer for the trial. 😉

Hi "starman", Sad to hear of your bad side effects. Keep up the fight against those as well.
Prolia is our friend and I'm glad my onco started my injections right along with the Lupron. Also, he told me to add oral calcium (OTC) to my vitamins as I already had some bone loss in my left femur. Maybe consider it for yourself as long as your doc's agree.
Best of luck and the most helpful results in your course of action against the PC and all the troubles in starts.
