He’s 76, hasn’t had a PSMA scan, so maybe not so fast with that surgery — plus he’s in bondage to a restrictive insurance plan; guide the surgery/radiation choice with the online MSK nomogram; treatment for his metastatic melanoma revealed metastatic prostate cancer — at age 50;  low hemoglobin keeps him from a clinical trial; why’d doc prescribe Lynparza — you should always ask a doc why; bad to worse when he switches to darolutamide; Orgovyx more tolerable than Lupron?; don’t sweat a 0.01 PSA rise;  PSA near zero but PSMA scan can still have value — if insurance will pay; doc balks at drug to reduce testosterone flare; women’s libido-boosting drug Vyleesi may also work for men on ADT — Dr. E putting a study together.

Daniel – please use this link for PROMISE. It is likely to be much quicker than via KP. https://www.prostatecancerpromise.org/?utm_campaign=ANCAN&utm_medium=link&utm_source=Webinar
