Castration resistance

Thanks Jeff! So have the newer drugs allowed a longer time from the start of ADT to castrate resistance and/or castrate resistance to death? My doctor said I will be on ADT for 3 years, but I think it will be for life due to the aggressiveness. When do most men go into remission, before castrate resistance, after, or can it be either?

If you are just on ADT the average time to castrate resistance is 2.5 years, exactly what it took me.

It definitely appears that adding an ARSI can extend that time.

Discuss this with your doctor, see if the clinical trials will sway the doctor to get you on an ARSI as well.
