You are absolutely correct. None of the guidelines call for 2 1/2 years so I figured that was different from 6 months or 18 months or two years that people with certain Gleason scores get.
If you are on the drug until it fails then PSA rise is a limitation.
The thing is, if you are on it for a limited amount of time, and your PSA starts rising, that also could mean switching drugs or changing treatments.
