Intermittent Hormone Therapy (IHT): How is it working for you?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (47)Comment receiving replies
Dr Mark Scholz, Prostate cancer specialist told me that I will get 2% more benefit by continuing on the medicine on November 21st. My PSA was 0.05 and he said that is at undetectable level. Based on the recent Intermittent Hormone therapy randomized trials, I will get the same benefit as continuous ADT and I will feel better.
Both oncologists have all my diagnostic results. One says I am a good candidate for Intermittent ADT and the other says I am not!
For now, I decided that 2% benefit is worth it, because I am handling the drug reasonably well.
Perhaps Dr Scholz is giving more weight to my age!

My apologies! I never saw your VERY FIRST post in which you said you were 89 years old….F***me!!
Ava, at 89 yrs old you can do whatever feels right to you - I thought you were much younger, which is why I’ve been encouraging you to stay on ADT longer.
But, as you point out your fitness age is 74 - 15 years younger than your chronological one. So maybe…maybe… 104 is really an age you could live to if you keep this PCa under control?
Don’t know Dr Scholz but have seen his videos and from what I’ve beard him say, he deals very much in generalities and categories. I think your instinct about how he views your age is correct.
