Again you have squared the circle. ADT and other are so very bad as to SE"s for most. Dr, You would have to experience it to know how crappy you can feel on these treatments. Lift weights! Exercise! Take a walk! I'll get right to it after I crawl back from the toilet. Dr's must know how bad SE's can be but they also know there is nothing they can do about it.

Yes, ADT is tough, especially at first, but for me (and maybe other "lifers"?) it gets easier over time. Especially since I was able to abandon the injections and start on Orgovyx a year ago, it has only a small impact on my life now (3.5 years in). I mean, yes, I miss the hair on my chest and legs, I gain weight a bit more easily, and some types of physical intimacy are more challenging, but it's no longer like walking around with a millstone around my neck or anything like that.
