The waiting is terrible

While following all the other good advice on this thread, I wonder if it would help with the waiting if you started to focus on the recommended lifestyle changes that you are sure to receive from your doctors? Mine are to reduce red meat to no more than 2x a month (I was eating some form of red meat several times a week before diagnosis and treatment) and to have cooked tomato products 3x a week (e.g., sauce, stewed tomatoes, tomato juice) and increase fast-paced walking to 30 minutes 5x a week.

And for what it's worth, I went into my first meeting with the oncologist adamantly opposed to ADT but after having the Decipher test showing my cancer cells are high risk, I relented. Yes, there are some side effects, but they are manageable for many of us.

Wishing you and your husband the very best.

Here are some more of my lifestyle changes I failed to include.
Limit things high in animal fat (whole milk, whole cheese, and ice cream).
Eat cruciferous vegetables 3 times per week (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale).
The lycopene rich foods (found in cooked tomatoes: pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, also in watermelon).
