Coincidentally on this subject , I just got off a zoom appointment with my oncologist who is very cold and God like . Reason for meeting was to ask if I really needed my second hormone shot when radiation is completed ? I told him I was anxious to work on getting my sex life back knowing that the hormone shot lasts about 3 months. His response was like a knife in my heart. He said at my age after what I’ve been through, my sex life is over even with penis injections . He said if sex was so important you should not have had surgery and enjoy the maybe 5 yrs you would have left . I’m trying not to believe him but he is a poor example of a top Dr. at a top Boston Hospital

Graybeard - no wonder you are depressed dealing with this imbecile! Sorry, no amount of letters after your name makes you “smart” or a TopDoc when you talk to patients in this manner.
Not saying that he should agree with your version of treatment, but He should be offering words of encouragement and solutions to your problems - NOT telling you “Dude, you’re gonna be dead soon, hug your grandkids…”
I think you should dump this guy after your treatment is complete - OR leave him now and get a second opinion on continuing ADT.
Who knows, maybe some other doc will agree with him that you do only have 5 yrs left and you should spend them screwing your brains out….just sayin…
