Nubeqa (Darolutamide) versus Zytiga versus Estradiol Patches

@jeffmarc I wonder if she saying that the Nubeqa isn’t approved for his situation due to his stage? If two lymph nodes were shoddy, would that be a reason why she says it won’t work? The fact that it has spread outside of the prostate area? The fact that it’s metastatic at this point? Is Nubeqa not approved for metastatic PCa?

@sriddle1
The question comes down to is he castrate resistant! Since he has not been treated yet, he is castrate sensitive, not castrate resistant.
If still castrate sensitive, then it is approved for metastatic disease, which he apparently has. I did say that it was approved for all castrate sensitive people.

It is approved for Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).
I don’t suppose you are castrate resistant yet. It is approved for that too.

I have found that when I want my oncologist to give me something different I ask for it. I don’t equivocate. I don’t ask if it’s OK I ask for it.. That’s because I know what the guidelines are and that it will be covered by insurance.
If you can’t get anywhere with this doctor, you might want to try getting a second opinion from a center of excellence.
Is your partner having a real problem with side effects of Zytiga? Like I did.
