I am curious what your side effects were with bicalutamide. High dose bicalutamide alone is considered a PAB, peripheral androgen blockade, which is notable because it preserves the testosterone levels in the body while blocking the use of testosterone by cancer cells, thus eliminating a lot of the side effects of ADT. It is considered experimental in this country but in Mexico that might not be the case. When I meet with my radiation oncologists next month to plan treatment for my pC, I am going to ask about it.
