Had 18 Chemo treatments, 20 radiation, on ADT from Start, PSA not readable after 22 months.

Dr advises to stop ADT, to improve lifestyle. Not sure if this will increase risk of return sooner?

There's nothing in your profile, but I'm guessing you were metastatic when you started chemo. I'm also guessing that you are currently only using something like Lupron.

The question, which no one can answer, is will Testosterone recover enough during the break, to give you a quality of life improvement.
