@jeffmarc Thanks for your reply Jeff. Ok on the newsletter, I will check it out.
I forgot to mention gleason scores in my original note, they are 8,8, 7 found in3 of 12 areas in the prostate. I haven't had radiation but have discussed that at length with an oncologist.
I have been doing watchful waiting since early in 2025 with no meds being taken for prostate
cancer .

Just to clear it up.
You are a Gleason eight. The seven doesn’t matter the doctors only go by the highest number.
A Gleason 8 is very aggressive so you don’t want to go very long watchful waiting, (Which is now called active surveillance).
At your age, radiation is the normal solution. Nubeqa is pretty easy on the body and could keep your cancer under control for a long time. ADT may be too much. Discuss this with your doctor.
At 78 I have some calcification And have to take Diltiazem, Losartan and Metoprolol twice daily For high blood pressure caused by Zytiga. Sounds like your problem is definitely worse than mine however.
