I think intermittent treatment probably depends on one’s prostate cancer diagnosis. My diagnosis was that my cancer also had metastasized into my bones

Also, I’m not sure if psychologically/emotionally going off adt meds for awhile and then prostate level begins rising again causing going back again on adt meds psychologically/emotionally may not be a good idea

Yes, ditto. The research didn't show great results for intermittent ADT with advanced-stage prostate cancer, but it showed it was safe for treating earlier-stage.

The presumed benefit of ADT holidays for earlier-stage cancer is that it reduces the risk of side-effects like bone-density loss, heart problems, etc.
