It's different for everyone, unfortunately. Some people go many years without developing castrate resistance, and some only a few months. As I mentioned earlier, taking a second-generation ARSI (one of the "-lutamides") together with ADT can significantly extend castrate sensitivity for many patients, as it has for me so far.

They initially told me I'd develop castrate resistance in 18–24 months, because that was still the received wisdom in 2021. Obviously, that time scale was wrong, since it hasn't happened yet in 2025 (thanks in part to Apalutamide, which seems like a game changer).
