Intermittent Hormone Therapy (IHT): How is it working for you?

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.

I remember your first post, ava, about wanting to get off the Orgovyx now and not even do a year…..but you gradually warmed up to the idea of doing at least one year.
If you are feeling OK, why not continue for another 6 mos? Your Gleason and Decipher scores certainly merit a longer duration of ADT….just sayin…
