Thanks North! I guess I’m doing doublet - Firmagon (already started) and Zytiga (starting in a couple weeks) with radiation (also starting in a couple weeks). I asked if I can do chemo right after radiation, but Dr said no. 50 years old and trying to be aggressive as possible up front. Thanks!!

If you have only a few metastases, then radiation makes more sense; if you have many, then they sometimes offer chemo or Pluvicto instead. The idea is to attack the metastases at the roughly same time as you're shutting down the testosterone supply (at source and destination) and destroying the "mothership" tumour in the prostate.
