One year later and Xtandi ("X candy") is just another friend.

I feel so good now that I'm going to have a hip replacement next week.

@bluegill Yes, ditto for Erleada with me nearing the end of my 5th year.

Side effects like brain fog are rare with all the -lutamides, but they must be nasty when they happen.

There's never been an actual head-to-head trial to confirm which -lutamide is least likely to cause those cognitive side-effects (there are competing marketing claims for Erleada and Nubeqa based on the slim evidence of a restrospective human study and experiments on mice, respectively), but the majority won't experience them on any of the three.
