I have completed just about 18 months of ADT plus ARPI. I could be wrong, but I didn't get the feeling that it was a cost issue to get the darolutamide. In fact, she mentioned that their institution has a very good track record at getting insurance approvals. Being my Dexa scan was good and PSA is undetectable I'll likely not pursue shortening the regimen at this point. The side effects I'm dealing with are annoying but have been tolerable. In fact, this may sound silly, but as much as I am looking forward to getting off ADT, I'm worried as to what will happen when that happens.

If the doctor prescribes it the insurance company will usually pay for it. I know a lot of people that have switched over. The side effects can be a significant reason, I haven’t heard one in this case. You are right however some insurance companies can be really tight.
