4 month ADT holiday

[Rob11111]

I’ve been given 4 months ADT holiday with no treatment Then more blood tests to see how things are going. I was finding it hard to concentrate when reading as I was so tired. I’m already feeling more awake after 2 days of stopping Abiraterone and my balance seems to be improving. Doing some gym work and plenty of cycling. It will take a few months before testosterone kicks in. It took Abiraterone to get the psa to undetectable levels. Thanks for all comments

Medical professionals are still in the ON - OFF control era. Proportional control has still not been discovered. You just don't stop the treatment. Lower dosage to the minimum effective one.

Good luck on your vacation. Try to step up your workouts. You'll feel even better.

Been stage 4 for the last 5 years, cancer restricted to 3 small tumors in lymph nodes, so far. I would object to a suggestion of a meds holiday………..that’s just me. I’ve had prostate removed 9 years ago, 40 rounds of radiation 5 years ago, and 6 rounds of docetaxel chemo therapy, which concluded 3 weeks ago.

I’m glad to hear you’re getting a break from ADT, I sure hope I get that option in the future. Let me know how it goes. I’m hoping it works out great for you.

a vacation sounds great I hope I can take one soon. Let me know how it works for you. I’ve been trying to talk my Dr into it but perhaps I have not been on ADT long enough yet .im at almost 18 months of lupron
