Stage 4 Prostate Cancer and Hormone Therapy quit working

I’m very sorry to hear this. I’ve had much success with Enzalutimide and Firmagon mind you I believe my diet (Mediterranean) and the addition of naturopathic supplements are helping as well. Specifically, I take Pomi -T, Cucurmin, Quecetin, Super K and Vitamin D. My thinking is the supplements may boost the effectiveness of the Enzalutimide which apparently treats three types of PC whereas Apalutimide treats only two or so I was told. Just thought I would pass this along. Best wishes.

"Enzalutimide which apparently treats three types of PC whereas Apalutimide treats only two"

Thanks for sharing that. It's true, but it matters only if you have metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is the one that Enzalutamide is approved for but Apalutamide is not.

Otherwise, if you have non-metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) or metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), you can take either (neither is approved for nmCSPC yet, as far as I know).
