I am in a clinical trial at UCLA for aggressive and advanced prostate cancer. I had prostate surgery and 13 months of ADT and Erleada ( which is the Jansen apulutamide medication). My reading about this medication is that it extends the time of cancer progression on an average of 24 months over just ADT medication. The side effects were present but not too bad. Good luck to you and all in this support group

Thank you for your input. How did your insurances cover the Erleada? The 15K a month for it is scary. they I had my first of three radiations today and the radiologist said he is very confident that he will kill the three small spots I now have and that the Eligard and the Erleada is expected to do a good job in controlling future growth....but at some point probably another drug will be needed to replace the Erleada. Does that sound reasonable to all of you.
