There’s no way of knowing how long our current Lupron plus Erleada will last. It could be a few months it could be years. Everyone with prostate cancer Is different.

Pluvicto is another option for you, You can do it before chemo and it is very successful with some of the people that use it.

Have you had genetic testing? That really is important with the state of cancer that you have. You can Get free, genetic testing at. Prostatecancerpromise.org Please have a counselor will call you to discuss You jinglethe results

Chemo does not change your life, Yes, while you are on it, it can be not too bad or a real pain, Again, no two people are the same. I was in an Ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer meeting today and one guy came in and said he was doing chemo but after doing chemo, for 10 days, he couldn’t eat food, didn’t taste good. He lost a lot of weight then he’d have a few days where he’d recovered completely, ate a lot of food, then back to the next chemo session. The other people that said they were just uncomfortable for a few days after, had to rest to recover.

As for types of chemo, I have heard that Cabazitaxel is easier than docetaxel on body.

Once chemo is over for many people, it stops the cancer from coming back for a long time.
