If your PSA stays undetectable, you can stop ADT until the PSA starts rising. Results can vary, some people get less help from drugs when they stop and start. That can depend on how extensive your cancer is as well. I know someone that did this for 4 years. He now has to move to a second drug and stay on two drugs constantly, cancer can get progressively worse for many of us.

If you want to get some professional advice attend Monday’s Ancan.org meeting and you will have a number of people that can tell you what works best with your particular situation. New people are always first to talk. There are always a couple of doctors there as well. I know that Rick, one of the leaders, does not like using intermittent, but is all for stopping when you are undetectable for a while.
