My husband is Stage 4 and has had many metastases over the years, mostly on his spine, but also on other bony spots. He has been on Lupron for many years, and took Zytiga with prednisone daily, which kept the cancer in remission for three years. After Zytiga stopped working, he had Pluvicto infusions, which he finished last month. Depending on the results of a scan later this month, we will learn next steps, of which there are many. So hang in there---many treatment options exist which can keep the cancer under control for quite a while.

I was on Zytiga for 2 1/2 years. After Zytiga I move to Darolutamide and my PSA has been below .1 (undetectable) for 10 months. There’s actually a recommendation to move to one of the lutamides after Zytiga and Darolutamide has the least side effects. When I was on Zytiga my PSA only hit .1 one month in 2 1/2 years though it did stay quite low.
Here is a link to the lancet article that discusses the sequence of using the drugs.
