Jeff, I read a new study that came out in 2025 that the combination of olaparib (Lynparza) and simvastatin (Lipitor) worked even better than either drug alone.
It’s interesting since for years there’s been a drug combo of doxycycline, a statin and metformin used to “holistically” treat PCa.

Interesting study. In my case I was prescribed Lipitor and it almost crippled me. I could not stand up without going in circles to get my body moving. Our friends asked my wife what was happening, was I sick, because it screwed me up so much. My oncologist figured it out after a few months. I was on Lupron and thought that was the culprit.

A few years later I tried a different statin and had the same problem, My cholesterol has always been low fortunately.

And my next drug will be a PARP inhibitor. Arghhhh!
