What is the next step

I have one more Immunotherapy for my bladder cancer, so far all scan have shown no metastasis. Now I need to focus on my PC after more than a year of ignoring it. My PSA has been fluctuating and is now 0.65, doubling time is 16 months, I have not had ADT yet and my MO wants to just wait and watch. What do you think?

It's hard to do nothing given your experience with bladder cancer, although it is arguably a good course of (in)action. Maybe ADT-lite with Casodex?

Not what you're looking for?
