There really was no discussion on the anti androgen receptor medication. Darolutamide has only relatively recently become available for treatment of castration sensitive disease. My understanding is Darolutamide was the best option. I know it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so has less side effects. I had none while taking it. Quite expensive, although my insurance covered it. He only kept me on it for 3 months while I underwent chemo. I completely trust my oncologist so I told him to treat me as he felt appropriate to give me the best chance of cure or long term remission. I also only had 4 cycles of Taxotere. His belief is that it is not proven that more cycles are beneficial and it does have significant potential side effects. Also, treats at a lower dose than some-max of 60mg/m2 rather than 75mg.
I'm sure this is the individual oncologist"s choice so I am not indicating what medications or dosage are right or wrong. It also may have been tailored to my specific situation. Honestly, being a physician and knowing how complicated the disease and treatments are, I am surprised that some layman believe they can read some literature and direct their treatment. That is not to say they shouldn't be informed. Good luck.
