Phil,

Thankyou. I think you are right, but Duke has a hard sell because for 20 years doctors have been decreasing testosterone for aggressive cancer and their data shows some success. Duke is using AI to determine who this new BAT will help. It may be too late for me but it is great seeing that a lot of work is being done to improve treatments for prostate cancer.

@pesquallie Yes it’s amazing how quickly an accepted idea with years of acceptance becomes the exact opposite at a snap of the fingers- makes the head spin!!
But BAT is not for everyone, as you point out and there are new drugs coming out every single day to overcome the hurdles of this disease.
If you even think about your own treatment, it’s vastly better than what was done 20 yrs ago, right? It’s never too late until it’s really too late…not sure if Yogi said that but you know what I mean😉
