  • Hi Jim.,

    When chemo stopped working for me I went onto immunotherapy. I see that pembrolizumab can be effective for prostate cancer, so maybe there would be a trial of that you could join.

    For now, if the chemo is keeping you stable, and you're tolerating the side effects, then happy days.
