Respectfully, was he on BOTH first generation i.e. Lupron or ORGOVYX and second generation i.e. Zytiga or enzalutamide? What What stage was he before he started ADT and was his primary treatment surgery, radiation, or both?

Before radical prostatectomy he was diagnosed as stage 3b. They said it was not in lymph. Then after surgery they found it was in lymph on both sides of prostate.. I think 7 nodes cancerous. Does this make it stage 4? We have never been told and I did not want to ask at the time. 3b just sounded so much better. They proceeded with radiation and ADT. We had to switch doctors several times for different reasons all out of our control. Each one had a different opinion so he has been on several different regimens, I lost track. All I know is he has been on horomone therapy for two years (shots) testosterone had been 0 for all of that time. It is still very low so they do not understand why his psa rose so quickly. PET scan Aug 5th.
