castration-resistant prostate cancer ?

Wow, there's a happy term.

Not the happiest sounding of phrases. I was diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer 7.5 years ago. It became castrate resistant after three years.

I have responded so well to ADT, Lupron and Xtandi, my oncologist is thinking about recommend studying why I and another of his patients still have undetectable PSAs after 7+ years.

When I was diagnosed, the average 5-year survival rate for my diagnosis was 5.4 years. The drug Xtandi only works for an average of six months. It’s still working for me after 3.5 years.
