RSO: Has the cancer stopped responding to the other treatments including Casodex (bicalutamide) and Zytiga (abiraterone)? Are you looking into cannabinoids to manage side effects like pain?

I have been on Zytiga since Dec. 2019 and a recent CT scan and bone scan showed NO sign of cancer. Actually the tech who did the bone scan was surprised at how clean my bones were. I live in NM where cannabis is legal but we travel a lot to Texas where it is not legal. As a result I am not planning on using it. Currently I have no pain issues at all. My oncologist at UMC Lubbock told me "this cancer will not kill you because we have so many tools to work with if anything stops working".
