I am most fortunate with a continued undetectable PSA since April 2006. T is at 381. On diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer in April 2004, I immediately started a six month chemo with hormone therapy clinical trial. Hitting the little bastards hard. Able to stop ADT in February 2010 and added low dose testosterone a year later.
I am a proponent of hitting hard while the tumor burden is minimal and the body strong. I am 74 1/2 today. Admittedly I know nothing about the new silver bullets used in treatment today as I never had to go there...... Stay positive.
How are you able to stop ADT after a metastatic diagnosis?

Anomalous, my research medical oncologist simply said, “I can’t find any sign of cancer in your body.” Then he said, “Let’s stop the hormones.” Me: “Wont the cancer come back? DrA: “ I don’t think so. If i am wrong and the cancer comes back, we just re-start the injections.” Followed by, “A lot of upside..... give it a try.”
This was six years after a six month clinical trial of chemotherapy with hormone therapy. I was one of a few that had a complete response.
Congratulations! May I ask: have they written any recent articles about your case? It feels like the profession should be very interested! And that it might be of help to others.
The Dean of McGovern Medical School (that’s the University of Texas Health Science Center. There were several oncology professors and researchers in the room from other medical schools. They all heard and know Dr Robert Amato’s research.
