ADT vacation thoughts

After almost 6 months off of all meds and 11 months since Lupron injection Ive been on med vacation. Feeling great , working out, feeling libido surge and just feeling normal again has been great. Lately though my testosterone levels have risen but below baseline still.And my PSA has jumped to 6 from undetectable . I'm will be starting Orgovyx. It's new med to me. I was taking Lupron shot plus abiraterone and Prednisone. That combo was draining the life out of me physically and mentally. I hope that Orgovyx will be helpful. I look forward to my next ADT vacation because quality of life is very important to me Stage 4 prostate cancer sucks bad. I keep praying there will be a cure for us that is reachable and affordable. And a ADT vacation will last forever as long as we live.

More info here. I still have prostate and testicles. I did have bladder mass removed in surgery when I was first diagnosed. Had big tumor removed in thigh bone which required a total right hip replacement followed by 10 sessions of radiation to thigh area . .Went on 8 rounds of docetakl chemo with ADT meds for 18 months.. then went on wonderful ADT vacation..Best vacation ever imo.
