Hi Gerry Great that your ADT holiday is now over 8 months! At what PSA will you decide that your present holiday is over (until the next one)?

Hi Darryl
Some where in the 2.0-3.0 range.
I have an oncologist at Dana-Farber in Boston.
My pathology after surgery was pt3b GS 4+5
Second opinion at Dana was pt3b GS 8+t5 = GS 9
That was 9 years ago
My oncologist says I respond extremely wall to first line adt.
My second holiday was longer than my first.
No casodex this time just 2 three monthly shorts of Lupron.
Best wishes to all
Gerry

Hi Darryl,
I am planning to bring my brother to Dana Farber soon. He has stage 4 prostate cancer.
I would like your suggestion as to a doctor there.
If you have an opinion, please let me know.
Thanks, Annette
