Your story gives me lots of hope! What meds did you start with and how have they been adjusted over the years? I've been on daily abiraterone, daily Prednisone, and quarterly lupron for 11 months

I started out with a prosectomy, followed by radiation,
followed by provenge treatment. From there I had taxotere chemotherapy, lupron shots twice a year. Next was Abirateone acetate and prednisone which kept me in remission for almost 4 years. After that stopped working, they gave me Xtandi. That only lasted 3 months. Then they gave me 13 rounds of Jevtana. Pluvicto came available and that failed after 3 rounds because it made my PSA rise rapidly in my opinion. They put me back on Jevtana now, with 5 rounds of carboplatin with it. I'm on Jevtana alone again, every 3 weeks. This is where I stand now. My PSA rose from 1.56 to 20.83 after using Pluvicto, which failed. My PSA is now 19.33 after 5 rounds of Jevtana. As long as it works, they have me approved for that for a year.
