I also have BRCA2. Found out about it about six years ago. First diagnosed 16 years ago. Had surgery and when it came back 3 1/2 years later, had salvage radiation. Had two more reoccurrences And been on Zytiga. Became castrate resistant while on Lupron. Have been on Nubeqa For almost 3 years and I’ve had 26 months undetectable.

When what I’m on right now fails I will take a PARP inhibitor. Those drugs are really hard on the body and causing an email in a lot of people so they are the last resort for some people.

UCSF has a BRCA education workshop on February 17th. Here is a link if you want to attend. Just sign up with this link.

Ancan.Org Has a meeting every quarter for people with genetic problems like BRCA. You can go to that site and sign up. They have a lot of meetings for people that have prostate cancer all different levels.

@jeffmarc I think we’ve met in one of those AnCan groups. Thanks!

My voice recognition really screwed up and I unfortunately didn’t have time to reread,

This should have read
“ When what I’m on right now fails I will take a PARP inhibitor. Those drugs are really hard on the body and causing an email in a lot of people so they are the last resort for some people.”

When what I’m on right now fails I will take a PARP inhibitor. Those drugs are really hard on the body and cause anemia and a lot of people, So they are the last resort for some people.
