Where to take Leuprolide infusion? Arm or stomach?

Hi Jeff,
For some reason I had it in my head that if someone is castrate resistant they do not qualify for Nubeqa? I must be wrong on that. My father is 76 and has been fighting this beast since 2002. He's had surgery, radiation, monthly Lupron injections, more radiation, failed Zytiga due to an increase in liver enzymes, and is now castrate resistant and has a few metastases. His dr. is now recommending Pluvicto. If he tolerates that well they would also start him on Xtandi after the second infusion. He is the same way, you'd never know he has cancer if you met him. He is under Dr. Kwon's care team at Mayo. I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well, wishing you continued good health.

At least a dozen people on the weekly advanced prostate cancer Ancan.org group are on it and almost all are castrate resistant.
Tell your doctor you want nubeqa instead of Xtandi. The doctor knows you know the difference maybe you can get them to give you the drug with the lesser side effects.
Pluvicto sounds like a good chance to get the cancer controlled.
