I am being prescribed the drug Apalutamida. from Feb. Followup of radiation treatment also to attack the two locations. Must not take any alcohol ever with this drug as it stops its effect.

Apalutamide, aka Erleada -- one of the second tier ADT meds. Should do a great job for you. It's very similar to the Xtandi I take. I hadn't heard of the alcohol prohibition, which might also apply to Xtandi. Doesn't matter. I don't drink anyway. 🙂

Let us know how things go with ERLEADA, Compaid!

Many of us here are on ZYTIGA or XTANDI.

Did you get good insurance coverage for ERLEADA?

It's great to see how the treatment arsenal has grown in the past decade or so.

I give true thanks for every new treatment and medication!

Keep in touch --- let us know how you're faring!
