Split people in two groups of Casodex resistant treatment men (double -blind cross-over study)

50% get Casodex 50 mg ( BICALUTAMIDE 50 MG ) 1 tablet daily + 1 placebo tablet
Casodex is an anti testosterone agent.

50% get Casodex 50 mg 1 tablet daily + 1 Tamoxifen 20 mg tablet
Tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor inhibitor

Compare the results of tumor growth over 1 year's time then reverse the groups without the physician or the patient knowing if they are receiving tamoxifen or the placebo tamxoifen then compare tumor growth results again.
