I am stage 4, my cancer had spread to my pelvis and one lymph node. I had very few symptoms prior. My PSA was 62 when I was diagnosed. After the PSMA PET scan, my urologist immediately put me in ADT drugs. This was last September, my PSA has dropped to .2 now. These drugs essentially stop the cancer, at least for a year or 2. Or until other treatments.

What were your side effects of it?
My husband is afraid of the hot flashes and mood swings and all the other stuff that can happen.... I told him- HA welcome to a woman's world in mid 40s.....
And that I'd rather have a husband and no sex life, than a dead husband (and still no sex life)
I'm surprised that UNC didn't jump all over us and started something right away for him, instead we have to wait 10 days from the PET scan.
We just want answers if there's hope or not, so far google and forums like this are pretty dire and I haven't come across anything that's as bad as his.
Yet the symptoms are minimal!
