A hard no...I will do everything reasonable to not die of PCa.
I tend to be aggressive with my treatment choices, the triplet therapy in January 2017, I originally thought SBRT and six months of Orgovyx this last time but went with 12 months.
I also generally choose to treat early. My PSA was only .7 last time when I initiated treatment.
Mine and my medical team's objective is to manage this as a chronic disease vice a fatal one.
There are guys on this forum and others who have either stopped treatment because of the side effects (not the hospice ones) or contemplate it.
My radiologist made a gallows type joke that if I die of a heart attack, we achieved my goal. She is not wrong.
