What if this prevents cancer from becoming resistant?

Thank you for your response.

In the age of capitalism, when people make money off sick people, I think this is pointless.

The main risk is resistance; it's the point of no return. Many of us, including myself, have no choice.

I already stated my arguments in the opening message.

In my opinion, statistical data processing is needed for those who survived.

I graduated from university and know what mathematical statistics is. I may be wrong, but my main assumption is that resistant cells are much more dangerous than cells that haven't yet become resistant.

Challenge #1: Identifying significant influencing factors rather than variables

Challenge #2: How to test assumptions over a long period of time

Challenge #3: How to develop assessment criteria and a response to changing dynamics (accurately assess how cancer responds and predict its behavior)

I believe that while our cells are hormone-dependent, there's a chance (metastases don't invade vital organs), but once they become resistant, all we can do is fight their growth, with almost no chance. In other words, wasting time is like shooting ourselves in the knee.

If our PSA is almost 0, then there are few cells and they're not yet resistant, but if the cells don't respond, there's no turning back.

Any risk must be considered in terms of probability and its proper assessment.

Becoming castrate resistant is not a fatal problem, At least not fatal For most of us because of the drugs that are available.

I became castrate resistant six years ago. Zytiga and Nubeqa have allowed me to stay alive for all this time. Yes, it’s better if this doesn’t happen, but the drugs that are available do work to keep us alive.

As for doctors profiting off the drugs. Yes, if you’re going to a urologist that’s not part of a big complex and they’re giving you ADT injections They are definitely making a profit off of that. The same may be true of other cancer doctors that work independently.

If you are treated at a center of excellence or Have Medicare advantage the doctors don’t benefit in any way from the drugs you’re taking?. Their medical systems might even want to limit the number of people that get some drugs because the expensive ones may not be completely reimbursed. The doctors get a salary that is not affected by the drugs that are Prescribed.
