Have they sent blood out to Foundation One for genomic testing? DNA mutation which would possibly show an immunotherapy option? I believe that chemo should also be started sooner in many cases. I think for me I would have had a better outcome, but this is just my opinion and experience.

I think the reason IV chemotherapy is known and for the most part is labeled the last ditch effort is because they wait so long to use it. After the body has been weakened already by months or years of ADT etc. How rare is it to find someone on Lupron that says they feel just fine? Plenty of energy and stamina. I know it’s had its toll on me and battling the side effects of IV chemotherapy now would be a hell of a lot harder than a few years ago before I had all the ADT drugs.
