Thanks. I wish I had been told that BEFORE I consented to this treatment or I would never have agreed. I really can't stand it anymore.

Without ADT your cancer can come back quickly, leaving you with few choices other than starting ADT and another drug like Zytiga which will drive your testosterone down even lower than Lupron or Orgovyx. You would also end up being on them much longer, like my being on them for almost 8 years due to my BRCA2 issues.

Yes it is annoying, but ADT is extending your life, staying on it the recommended time in the beginning is well worth it. Gives you a chance for remission.
