James My Brother... I Understand Completely How You Must Feel AND The Emotions You Are Feeling ! I know because I have been and am going through the process myself ! ... I don't know your exact situation, simply because Every Patient has a "Unique Situation"... It Is NOT a Black and White, One Size Fits All Scenario... However There Is Hope ! Never Forget What I Am Telling You James 🙏🕊️❤️... If you knew what I personally went through, you would understand why I am Telling You that There Is Hope ! I shouldn't even be alive, but I Am Soooo Grateful for the position I am in at this point of my life after everything I have endured since being diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer with a PSA Level of 2374... That's Right 2374 ! AND a DVT Leg Left Leg that needed Emergency Surgery back in late December 2024...Anyway, enough about me... The reason I am sharing this with you, and again, I don't know all the details about your specific Health Issues, but There Is Hope !!! I am Living Proof !!! ... My advice to you is this- First and Foremost, You Need to try to be as Strong as you can Mentally... You need to follow your Medical Regiment Very Strictly... You need to Advocate For Yourself !!! Very, Very Important ! How do I know this ? Because I learned along the way, AND, I am still learning, each and every day... Now, to answer your questions regarding Day to Day Combination, Side Effects, and what I wished I had known about starting treatment ? ... That's a totally individual experience... And don't get me wrong, I am not in any way, shape or form going to tell you that this whole process is "A Walk In The Park", because it's not... It's like a "Roller-Coaster Ride" Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually, that I know for sure... So, without knowing your specific medical situation, try not to overthink about every scenario... Do Your Research, because if you do not, then you may possibly regret it... I am Not trying to instill fear in you, but that's Very Important Advice... AND DO NOT make pressure decisions that are possibly enforced on you by your Medical Team... Remember, it's your body, and You Have The Right To Ask Legitimate Questions Regarding Your Health Treatments ! God Bless You James and a Peace Be With You, Now and Always My Brother 🙏 🕊️ ❤️ 🙏 -Freddie G
