My dears, after RP (Gleason 7, 4+3, infected 3 lymph nodes) and lymphadetectomy, radiation and hormone therapy for 39 months, my oncologist took me off hormone therapy with the recommendation of PSA control every 3 months. The last three PSA readings (every three months) were 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00, I expect PSA control soon. You can find more detailed information in my post. I hope for the best, and I wish you the same. Good luck

The SOC is 3 years of ADT and 2 years of abiraterone.

Thanks for the information, I will send the oncologist an e-mail. Is it too late to start using abiraterone now?

He meant 3 years ADT with 2 years Abiraterone within the 3 year span of ADT.

If your PSA is all but undetectable go ahead and take a vacation from it. Your bones will thank you.
