I understand your desire to continue taking the drug because your PSA continues to drop. Your PSA however, is very low, And that is why Doctor Scholz Said you could stop Orgovyx. Taking the drug for another three months is no big deal, your testosterone will probably come back just as quickly with that small addition of time.

A lot of people don’t get the ultra sensitive PSA test so for them being < .1 For nine months would be enough for some people to say drop the drug And see what happens.

I’m sure you’ve Read other comments about this, discussing the fact that you should get PSA tests no less than every three months when you do drop ADT. Wish you the best with your treatment decision, Hopefully it will give you years without recurrence.

Thank you Jeffmarc for your comments. Dr Amar Kishan when he treated me with SBRT in April, he suggested ADT for 1 year. I asked him what if I don't take ADT. He said my cancer coming back is 50%. ADT cuts it down by 50%. That means there is 25% chance that cancer coming back!
When I told him that Dr Schulz said that I can stop ADT now, he said it is ok!
It is all probabilistic, nothing definitive for sure!
