Hi @vickyjayne, weclome. I adjusted the title of this discussion a little to reflect that question you're asking fellow members. Allow me to bring @9876 @pauljay @mikesuess @403211th @donnelson @norske46 @rso @rxharleydude into this discussion as they have experiences with degarelix (Firmagon) abiraterone (Zytiga) and/or enzalutamide (Xtandi).

Here are a couple of related discussions:
– Enzalutamide (Xtandi): Anyone have experience with this drug? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/xtandi/
– Zytiga for Prostate Cancer https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/zytiga/

Vickyjayne, I think you are asking the right questions about what benefits do the additional hormone therapies bring for your brother. I know others will share their experiences, but I might also suggest your brother ask his oncologist too. His oncologist can answer more specifically what the benefits are for him. Is your brother tolerating the Firmagon injections well?
