  • Hi thanx for your reply I was diagnosed in 2012 been on hormone therapy and also had chemo as part of the stampede trial now my cancer has spread and been given 3 options two are trials and the third radium injections have to decide by end of this week ...

     

     

  • HI Wolfman60

    You deserve other options, such as bicalutamide plus lupron (prostap) , or jusr bicalutamide.

    For extremely advanced cancer there is also abiraterone plus lupron (prostap) and prednisone. That is what I am on right now. 

    What are the trials based on?? 

    and why are you bbeing offered the radium?  are you in extreme pain ?  That is for when you are in unbearable pain. 

    I hope you get your treatment set up best . 

    sending you healing thoughts from across the pond (i am in the usa)  -
