Thanks, and I understand what you mean. 🙂

That said, "castrate-sensitive" means that hormone therapy alone can still keep your cancer under control (PSA close to 0), while "castrate-resistant" means that it cannot (PSA still rising). I was curious whether you got chemotherapy because your PCa has become castrate-resistant, or whether the chemo was just proactive.

My cancer is metastatic and as of 04/15/24 it had moved to my bones. Now the psa is almost 0 with the help of the 2 therapies. Chemo is going hopefully to take of cancer cells made have found a way to develop using something else than hormones. I think that is what going on in my case; any way the doctor told me; no cure for you.
