Testosterone recovery after ADT

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.

This is helpful. I've seen so many conflicting things online about ADT. Some say it only improves the odds by 5%, while others say it greatly improves them. Radoncs also seem to be all over the place when it comes to ADT duration. Guys with the same diagnosis as me have gotten as few as four months of ADT and some have gotten two years. I get a sense that there's some element of educated guesswork to all of this.
