I was started on Lupron (ADT). Chemotherapy with Docetaxel was added (3 week intervals for 6 rounds). Next I had 20 fractions of external beam radiation to my pelvic region and 15 to my chest (to target a lymph node in my chest).
Lupron is planned for a couple more years if I can tolerate it.

After visiting Mayo for a consult, I went back to my big 10 university system doc to see if they would do the same process. They would not, claiming the chemo isn’t effective. At that point I switched my care to Mayo/Dr. Kwon.

I highly recommend watching the videos of several presentations where Dr. Kwon discusses various approaches to treatment. I realize each patient’s situation is different. I can only say we are very glad we switched…and that it has saved my life.
