This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Yes, I read similar studies and pieces but it seemed to me that the 'flare' was really only a consideration where there were severe symptoms which might worsen for a short time. I seem to recall that the flare suppression did not work in all cases - is my memory right on that?
That's why I felt that for most people, asymptomatic as they are, the addition of Casodex or Avodart was just adding another drug - and of course I am drug averse in principle:-)
I just put up what I think is a good cartoon in regard to multiple medications on TROOPC
