Me too
Depends on whether you are working with only a Urologist and not an Oncologist. I decided to work with both. I did this because the contrast showed that the Cancer metastasized on ribs 7 and 9. But the contrast also showed healed cracked ribs, etc. The areas were compatible to metastasized cancer. The CT's of the chest further defined the cancer. However, this is my case and I am sure it each case is different. On Eligard and Xtandi and psa had gone from 20.8 in Nov to 0.4 in Jan. Side effects are loss of energy, some breast swelling shrinking penis and hot flashes. I have also sworn off sugars since Nov and have lost weight. Went from 180 to 168. Height 5'9.
