The "just had" is not comforting: it's the sometime after just had that I am concerned about and what prevents my doing it. BTW: that "rise", for now at least, is only to 0.08 (from < 0.05, but psa's from two different labs, and the newer one is not known to me as wholly reliable) while off of ADT for 9(?) months. And, it seems to me, I don't likely have more than five acceptably good more years left anyway, and if going back on ADT keeps things in check for those years... 😉

I've provided this link in response to a post elsewhere. It was published after I had made my decisions, so it *maybe* has confirmed my decisions rather than having influenced them:

Sounds like you have a plan. Didn’t know you had a short life expectancy so perhaps this non- treatment works best for you.
