Recurrence 18 months after ADT ended

My husband has recently started taking Darolutamide, after it was discovered that his cancer has come back, 18 months after prostap3 ran out. 

At diagnosis back in 2022 his PSA was 8.7 G9 T3b treated with HDR brachytherapy, 23 fractions of whole pelvis radiotherapy and 2 years of ADT.

A bone scan showed he also has a hotspot on one rib, so is classed as oligometastatic.

I am looking for people's experience or thoughts on taking Darolutamide, and also the bone strengthening medication he will have to have, once he's seen his dentist.

Thank you in advance

Dear Elle

I have read the profile -  very good and complete documentation of that rather terrible time you have been through.  

I am not on darolutamide but enzalutamide - I asked to change to darolutamide since it meant to affect the brain less..  but oncologist refused saying they were all the same.....  I want to stop the ADT (Decapeptyl) as I believe it has destroyed my energy levels.  I stopped taking the bone medication after some dental worries.

I think Gee finishing the ADT course was a good move and the darolutamide should push his psa down again.

Keep strong!

best regards

Daraloutimide seems to be tolerated ok by the folks on here who take it.
