Apalutamide vs DAROLUTAMIDE

My dad was recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with diffuse bone metastases (March 20th). He met with his oncologist at Sloan Kettering on March 23rd and received his first hormone treatment (Degarelix). His PSA has already dropped from 189 to 23.89, and he had his second hormone treatm

Pfizer's PAXLOVID has done a lot of good and sales exceed $22 Billion this year. But if the costs are not covered by government it is costly ($500+ for a course of treatment) and there are health warnings. Sorrento's Mpro should be far cheaper (it is far less costly to produce) and it appears no

Hi, my father was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer last year, he went under radiation for lesions on his spine that were causing spinal cord compression and he got OK from this. His initial PSA score was 560 which after Hormonal therapy reduced first to 11 and then to 2 again reported 2 and

Hi Reddit community, thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. My Dad (71) was diagnosed with Stage 4 PC in Sep 24. He was responding really well to treatment until recently, when the doctor noticed something strange on his scan. He developed severe back pain in Feb/March, and it turned

First of all, hello to everyone, and I wish all prostate cancer patients a prompt recovery.

My doctor explained that rezvilutamide is a newer androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor. Its mechanism is similar to enzalutamide and apalutamide, mai

I have small metastatic prostate cancer and I have been on Zoladex for androgen deprivation therapy for six months. Things go as well as can be expected, my PSA is 0.03, down from 4.5 six months ago. I am leaning towards adding the androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) darolutamide (rather than

My onc wants me to start apalutamide. Interested in feedback from users. This is in conjunction with Zoladex Implant (goserelin)

It was 2 years ago today that I got the email with my ugly prostate MRI results showing a large PIRAD 5 lesion with spread outside the prostate and to regional lymph nodes. (Biopsy later showed Gleason 9 (4+5) in 12/12 cores.) It was the worst day of my life. I was out of the country, working

I recently "came out" to my larger circle of extended family and friends about having prostate cancer. It feels much better now that more people know. As this is Prostate Cancer Awareness month, I also wanted to let people know to encourage men to get screening. I have been very successful at gettin

Howdy! I've commented here for a while, but I figured I would make a post because I'm looking for input and thoughts. ​ I have been dealing with an issue where hrt is giving me brain fog, lack of focus, and emotional numbing. It seems counterintuitive because so many people report HRT m

So this is my update to this post from roughly 6 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProstateCancer/s/CPFvN9R8qu I got new imaging, as you can see. All the white are metastases. Pretty lame. So to recap quickly. PSA of 1096 when diagnosed. Did ADT and chemo. PSA dropped down to around after I finis

Dear community, my 67-year old father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer stage IV (PSA 57, Gleason 4+3=7b; cT4 N1 M1b with mets in pelvis and lower spine). Some context on him and us: He was enjoying his job as a voluntary janitor at our local church, which kept him physically active, as well a
