What if this prevents cancer from becoming resistant?

@denis76
In 2010 I had my prostatectomy 3.5 years later had the salvage radiation I got 2.5 more years before I started Lupron, in 2017. It took 2 1/2 years before I became castrate resistant.. So it was more than 9 1/2 years after I was diagnosed that I became castrate resistant. At that point, I went on Casodex for a little over a year and then abiraterone For 2.5 years. Then I went on Nubeqa Which I’ve been on for almost 3 years and undetectable for 28 months.

@jeffmarc Jeff so they decided not to give you ADT at the time of recurrence. Did they know where the recurrence was? Was that the standard of care at the time, or something you requested? Obviously, you are doing well, but I may be facing slavage and wondered whether if they can't identify the PSA source, one should just wait post radiation and watch PSA or do ADT with radiation?
