Thanks for your response and comments. Yes, I am still on Nebeqa and Lupron. I am scheduled to remain on these, although there was discussion about going to 6 month Lupron shops instead of 3 months which I am doing now. This discussion was before my latest PET scan, so maybe the dr will recommend staying at 3 months. I will start getting a PSA test every month as you suggest and monitor it closely.

thanks again Al

You don’t mention your Gleason score. That is a major factor in deciding how long you take ADT. Gleason eight usually means 18 months of ADT. Gleason Nine or 10 24 months ADT.

I had six month shots for about six years, much more convenient than coming back for a shot every three months.

Have they discussed doing a prostatectomy or radiation to stop your prostate from continuing to feed your cancer spread? This is become much more common in the last couple of years. Ask your doctor about it.
