That does sound like a reasonable plan, good luck with it.
I was kept on the Erleada for 12 months, which might be customary. I had prostate surgery in the 6th month. In the last month I had rashes on my chest and shoulders and if I had complained about that they probably would have stopped the Erleada in the 11th month and kicked me out of the Jansen clinical trial. I wanted to stay in the clinical trial as long as I could. Jansen paid for all of my cancer treatment for the last 18 months due to my being in the clinical trial. The numerous bone scans, pet scans, chest scans, monthly visits and blood test etc. And my treatment was treated as a top priority at UCLA and I was placed at the front of the line. My young surgeon at UCLA got me in the clinical trial, convinced me to take it and I was a good listener to him. The clinical trial should continue for another 18 months for a total of 36 mo Then my medicare supplement should cover most of the cost (but not all cost). 18 months ago when I was first diagnosed my prognosis was 4-5 years, after I finished the 13 months of meds and surgery the department head said that I should be good for 5-7 more years. At 75, I am hopeful for as many good, pain free years that I can get. I hope the same for you
