I have metastatic prostate cancer. Diagnosed almost 10 years ago. Until recently, I was on two androgen deprivation therapy drugs. PSA has been undetectable.

Currently on a Lupron “vacation” for the last eight months. Still take Xtandi at a lower dose. Reason for the “vacation” was because I had a very tiny TIA in July and the combo of the ADT with the TIA caused unbelievable fatigue

Will get back on Lupron as soon as my PSA becomes detectable. The fatigue has improved considerably in the last two months.

Thus study is nothing new, but I go-to MDA, and they are the #1 cancer center in the world.

Five years ago diagnosed with PC, Gleason score 9. Radical prostatectomy was not advised as cancer had metastasized to lymph nodes and surrounding tissue. After 2 rounds of radiation (one on prostate, another on a lymph node in my back), Xtandi and monthly Lupron Depot injections, my last PSA count went from undetectable to .2

I’m wondering if I should add Apalutamide to my treatment.
