My father is prostrate patient, we have used abiraterone, bicalutamide and radiation and in chemo we have used docetaxel, cabazitaxel and mitacantrone as well as second time docetaxel. The doctor is saying no more drugs are available. Is it true? Can you suggest other medicine or treatment that can reduce cancer cell our monthly spend on treatment can't go beyond 70000.

Actually majority of the medicine have been used for the treatment. Well the recommended option is enzalutamide other than that msi testing can be done and based on the same pemrolizumab can be a recommended option also the other information which would be useful would be whether psa is markedly raised or it is slightly raised if it is normal or slightly raised then consider biopsy of prostate to prove whether there is transformation to small cell carcinoma in which case chemotherapy like carboplatin with etposide can be used.

Abirateron is a good medicine but if its not responding then there are hormonal injections which are very effective. Degarelix is one option
