Quick ADT Question

They told my husband to expect a year or 18 months on ADT before the PSA doubles (meaning even from 1 to 2 or from 3 to 6) because we were talking about Pluvicto already but in the US, my husband doesn't qualify yet and it's a very expensive drug, he would probably qualify in other countries maybe, because it's metastasized and high Gleason.....I don't know, we thought about going overseas for it, but it seems like a lot, my thought was if it would be effective yet if it's NOT castration resistant YET? would it be like giving antibiotics to a cold virus vs bacteria?
we'll see, time will tell.
We talked about it because my husband was against Chemo and Pluvicto just removed that requirement recently, but now he started Chemo, so it doesn't really matter I guess.

I know this must be frustrating, But your husband probably made the best solution. If he’s got multiple metastasis all over chemo is a good option. He can always do Pluvicto if he needs further treatment.
