Non-adt prostate cancer treatment

[Cletom]

I was recently diagnosed with stage 3, non-metastatic prostate cancer: Gleason score 7 (half 3/4, half 4/3).

I have had both hips previously replaced.

I recently had three stents inputted.

I don't like the feel and taste of androgen replacement therapy.

Does anyone know of a legitimate entity that will treat my cancer without relying on ADT?

It's your choice. If you tell your doctor that you are willing to risk a greater chance of recurrence because you don't like the "taste and feel" of short-term ADT, no one can force you. He may or may not make you sign some document that you are going against doctor's advice.

Thank you.

My Doc told me that ADT for salvage radiation was optional for me. In my research my cure rate was approx 5% greater if I had 5 to 6 months of ADT. So it was a no brainer for me, I wanted the highest percentage potential as possible so I went for it.

I am not happy about it , but I expect I'll take 6 months ADT. What method did you use, if you don't mind? They want to start me on a three month shot.

I still have my prostate.

My Doc preferred Orgovyx. He thought it acted quicker, less side effects and his patients recovered sooner as well as thier Testosterone level came back quicker to normal.

I had 6 months of Orgovyx and SBRT. One month after stopping Orgovyx my testosterone went from 14 to 482. Orgovyx was a piece of cake....some hot flashes, loss of libido....nothing I couldn't handle. Why not give yourself the best chance of beating your cancer?

BTW, he was the first to offer Cyberknife on the USA's east coast and is pretty accomplished.
