\\ It’s just that your testosterone is so high that I am not sure it would make a significant difference.
Yes, but how can we determine the cause of elevated testosterone levels? Cancer or other factors?
Let me remind you that my doctor, after seeing my testosterone and PSA results, told me that my PSA and testosterone levels were stable and recommended eating foods that lower testosterone. My doctor is a very skilled specialist and works at a leading medical center.
My only concern is that despite changing medications, my levels are slowly rising and not falling, although they should be falling because I'm taking ADT and Erleada. Does this mean I started Erleada too late and the cancer is too late to stop?
I understand there are no answers to my questions. If Zytiga is truly stronger than Erleada, then I need to quickly quit and demand an oncology consultation. Otherwise, I have no chance.
Our healthcare system simply can't physically prescribe Zytiga to me because there's no funding and "they'll send me into space with my monstrous problem."
Yet Zytiga is sold here, but I can't buy it without a prescription! What a contradiction! Double standards: some people can take it, while others can't!

Some people do not get the benefit of ADT reducing their testosterone down to zero. It’s rare.
I sure would like to hear what food he says will drop your testosterone. I’ve never heard of being able to do that significantly.
I don’t think switching to Zytiga would help, Don’t make an appointment about that issue because I don’t think he wants you to do it, and usually that’s to get to much below 20 and you are way above that. Zytiga is generic and very inexpensive, Erleada is very expensive.
I think your PSA would be better under control with Erleada.
Your PSA is real low, not really time to change anything.
