Can I ask what chemotherapy and steroids you are on? I'm also stage 4. Left kidney is involved. Had radiation and I've been on Lupron for 19 months. 🤍

Congrats bud. I'm at point 3 from 121 metastasized to bone in 3 places. They went radiation and testosterone blockers with me. Likely because of the 8 Gleason score.
