Thank you for the information. I am 71 and have been lifting weights 4 days a week since I was 25, I also walk 4-5 miles every day. I am hoping to maintain my strength and endurance during the hormone therapy. Your experience makes me optimistic and almost every study I read, resistance training helps mitigate the side effects.

Based on what you’ve told me, I think you’re going to handle ADT well. I’m taking Orgovyx instead of Lupron depot shots and have done better with less side effects than my friends who took Lupron. Because you’re so active you may want to consider that and ask your doctor about Orgovyx.

Wishing you the best for your journey.
