Does Dr. Kwan indicate that this will get rid of the cancer? What is his prognosis?

I just don't understand why I'm only getting Erleada and Eligard and why the Urologist here isn't recommending the 'triple therapy'...I have an appointment in 2 weeks and will ask him...
What about Immunotherapy? Is that an option?

How healthy are you overall? If you are elderly with multiple other health issues then chemotherapy my be too rough on you. If you are reasonably otherwise healthy You definitely need to go elsewhere for that 2nd.opinion. My prognosis from the oncologist was 2-5 years. Immunotherapy doesn’t usually work for most prostate cancers but that option is still out there for some.
