Out of curiosity, have you heard about or done any research on Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT)? I’m wondering if you are/will be a candidate for it. It’s being researched at John’s Hopkins.

Thanks! I will take a look.

Right now, I feel incredible lucky/blessed that my current treatment is working — the side-effects are tolerable, and my PCa is staying castrate-resistant after 3 years — so I'm a bit reluctant to offer myself up as a guinea pig for experimental treatments, under the "if it ain't broke..." principle.

But if or when my PSA becomes detectable again, I'll be casting around for different treatments, so it's good that I'm aware of this.
