I want to hear all the opinions and I value them. That is why I am here. I am not going to rush into stopping Hormone Therapy.
Thank You for your input.

I Just saw yesterday my medical oncologist at UCI. I told him that Dr Mark Scholz told me that I could stop Orgovyx and take a holiday. He doesn't agree. He says that I should continue Orgovyx for 18 months, unless I can't tolerate. I have Gleason 9(4+5) and Decipher score of 0.9
Now my PSA is 0.05.
I decided to stay on Orgovyx at least for 12 months( March 31st, 2025) and then go on month by month checking Ultrasensitive PSA every 6 weeks or so.
He also told me UCI is currently running a trial being on Hormone Therapy for 12 months vs 24 months.

Planning adt holiday after 2yrs orgovyx/arbiterone/prednisone. Had surgery 12/22.Recurrence @5 wks1.8psa then 2.3 a month later. Was going to just stop but Kwons group wants petscan and bloodwork prior to stopping so that nothing is going on that would explode when the adt stops. The MD Anderson study concluded that adt holiday outcomes were not inferior to constant adt. Good luck to all on this journey of intermittent adt.
