Testosterone after ADT?
My pre-
ADT
testosterone was 620. Now, after four months of
ADT
(and radiation), it's 9. My
ADT
prison sentence ends September 31 (Orgovyxx). A couple guys at my gym have offered to hook me up starting in November to get my T back up quickly.

To scan or not to scan, that is the question.
I've had my two years on
ADT
, and now I'm 6 months into my "vacation" (iADT) PSA has hit 2.0, and the plan is to restart
ADT
when it hits 5.0. Assuming there are no complications, I'm okay with that plan.

ADT + Docetaxel
Would like to know if I should continue the
ADT
(zoladex), which I have tolerated well for 3 years. Most trial info I have found (STAMPEDE, CHAARTED) tests
ADT
alone vs
ADT
+ Docetaxel, where the combination outcome is superior.

Eliminating ADT.
Is there ANY PC Therapy that does not use
ADT
? I have been on
ADT
implants for over 2 years and will start Xtandi due to increased PSA's. I would love to stop
ADT
due to SE.

Anyone else suffering arm pains in conjunction with ADT hot flashes?
However, because of the combined impact of arm pain and other side effects of
ADT
including regular bouts of extreme debilitation, breathlessness and exhaustion, I decided to quit
ADT
in February 2023 once my PSA had returned and stayed at zero.

ADT questions
I am concerned that the
ADT
is working properly. I am away from home on an extended trip. Asked my RO by phone and he just said “everyone’s different” and said to stick with upcoming shot (would be last planned) . Any insights appreciated. First PSA not scheduled until October.

Interpreting blood tests
I've been on
ADT
for 4 months in preparation for RT and then HDR BT. I have localised G8 with an initial PSA of 8.1 Prior to commencing
ADT
, my PSA inexplicably dropped to 4.94 but then rose to 5.37 within 2 months.

ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Improved chances of success with ADT?
I have three months to go but am doing month to month and am told that every month of
ADT
means one more month for it to wear off, i.e. six months of
ADT
takes a year to wear off and, worse, that after three months the odds of ED being permanent greatly increase.

Input on Timing of Initial ADT after RP/SRT Failed
For the group: ▫ Does starting
ADT
early delay metastasis? ▫ If
ADT
is started early, will that make the cancer
ADT
resistant earlier? ▫ Aside from not experiencing the
ADT
side effects, is there an advantage to delaying the start of
ADT
?

Slight PSA rise and MO discontinuing ADT due to fatigue
Does stopping
ADT
/ an

'vacation' seem reasonable at this point?

ADT Side Effects and Supplements.
My kidney gfr was in the 80 to 90 range before
adt
. My bilirubin was 1.8 before
adt
and now it is .5. Very mild hot flashes and a little weight gain but pretty good energy for a guy nearing 74 years of age.

Does urinary frequency/urgency diminish after cessation of ADT?
Im seeing online there may be a correlation to
ADT
. Has anyone’s frequency/urgency diminished after finishing
ADT
? Bonus question: I also lost 1 1/2” on erection. Looks like I may be SOL on that one, but anyone have any length restoration after
ADT
? Thanks
