The head of radiation did GPS math and intensely radiated my L2 lumbar taking out 1.4 inches of prostate cancer that had metastasized Back on Zolodex for a year now and maybe Enzalutamide in Feb 23
Xofigo Radium-223 Dichloride therapy is used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to bone and no longer responds to hormonal therapies. The medical term for this condition is metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is indicated for men whose prostate cancer has spread to the bone with symptoms, but not significantly to other parts of the body. This therapy can help extend life and bring relief from bony pain. https://www.ottawahospital.on.ca/en/xofigo-radium-223-therapy/
