Jeff, hope feeling well, is castration resistant all part of the scenario if you will. In other words is it guaranteed to mutate to castration resistant?

While ADT is initially effective in most cases of advanced prostate cancer, the majority of patients eventually develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 2-3 years.
It took me 2.5 years to become CRPC. I did have to start Zytiga when it happened. It has made absolutely no difference in my continued good health. The drugs that weren’t here 20 years ago are allowing us to live with minimal issues. My father died of prostate cancer because those drugs weren’t available.
