Should I sell and retire with PSA at 0.1 following 9 months undetectable?
I had been maintaining a positive outlook, envisioning myself among the fortunate survivors who have gone 18 years or more on
ADT
without recurrence. However, browsing through the experiences shared on this site has made me realize the unpredictable nature of this journey.

Intermittent ADT
Hi all,I am wondering what are your views on intermittent
ADT
? PSMA Pet scan has revealed one met in my ribs...it was treated with SBRT. I was given a 3 month Lupron shot which reduces my PSA to 0.24 ug/l. I'm considering going on IADT....6 months of
ADT
followed by 6 months break and repeat.

What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
Even if I were UIR, the mean benefit of HT with RT (it will be IMRT) mean overall survival was only 0.7 years longer with
ADT
. Distant metastasis was improved.

Thinking about stopping Xgeva
In the meantime he started me on Xgeva because I had been on
adt
for 16 months. He agreed to 1 injection every 3 months after 6 months even though my dexa scan revealed normal bone density -1.0 at worst site and 0 or better at others.

PSA drop after ADT
Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the
ADT
duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about
ADT
on account of the SE. I know that the ideal
ADT
duration mentioned in this forum is to have at least 18 months to 2 years.

IBRT/SBRT Radiation and ADT
I have heard so many horrifying things here about adverse reactions to those who were prescribed
ADT
in conjunction with or shortly after radiation treatment. Has anyone forgone taking
ADT
therapy or does that ruin any progress made from radiation?

Radiotherapy for prostate local and retroperitoneal nodes
ADT
of lupron and abiraterone has been pretty tolerable so far, almost four months - maybe I got cocky. Started my SBRT 28 fraction 70 Gy radiotherapy four days ago, mild to moderate urinary urgency and some burn started almost immediately. Diarrhea started at night after day four, mild so far.

Ongoing BCR case. Advices are appreciated.
I could start with
ADT
in January of 2020. if I was too afraid of rising PSA. Was not, and soon will have four years free of
ADT
SEs. Decision was mine (MO was against
ADT
but was ready to administer).

Darolutamide and Desunomab Questions
I have started on
ADT
Orgovyx with no side effects in a month. The urologist plans to add an ARI (reception inhibitor)) and I prefer Nubeqa (darolutamide) which has less risk of seizure because it does not cross the blood brain barrier.

Big decisions regarding SRT and ADT for BCR
My husband was had a robotic radical prostatectomy 1/2019 with no major complications or side effects. Gleason 4+3, negative margins and no positive lymph nodes. There was cribiform invasion of a nerve but all margins of the prostate and 0/13 LN were negative after surgery. His post surgical PSA was

I am livid, confused , worried and scared as hell that my ORGOVYX -ADT symptoms are mine for life.
what is the difference of being on
-Orgovyx for life and having the exact same symptoms off the drug but caused by the low testosterone you acquired off the drug and by taking the drug.
