Newly diagnosed stage 4, how long on ADT before adding ARSI?

Sorry to hear your cancer had spread. Did you have any treatment before it spread? Like radiation or surgery? or hormone treatment. I also have been diagnosed with Gleason 9 but so far it has not spread?? I have had radiation and am on hormone treatment.

How long will you be on ADT or do you know yet?
I am also stage 4 (spread to 3 lymph nodes) and Gleason 9, currently on Eligard every 3 months. Just started proton radiation and wondered if/what side effects you had. I have the expected fatigue but also dealing with nausea which was not a side effect I expected. Anyone else have nausea from radiation treatments?

No treatment prior. I just went to the doc last July and my blood work came back with a PSA of 62. Had a DRI, tumor in upper part of prostate, biopsy the next week, confirmed highly aggressive cancer in both upper lobes. Started on ADT same day when the biopsy results came back. Had a PSMA Pet scan a few weeks latter, cancer in right pelvic lymph node, and both sides of pelvis. Recent scans indicate the growths have shrunk, will be on ADT for at least 3 yrs, Radiation may be an option, but docs are not sur, yet, they can radiate me safety.
