Testosterone recovery after ADT

I will ask oncologist and cardiologist about Darolutamide. I had 3 stents placed in circumflex artery in Nov, 2023 and triple bypass in March 2024. So only a year of recovery under my belt. My last 6 month Eligard will be in July. So far psa has been undetectable.

I didn’t realize that your three years were just going to be up in 8 months. You didn’t say that in the Previous message.
It doesn’t make sense to change what you’re doing right now since it’s working so well. Staying on just ADT like Eligard allows you to keep your PSA down to undetectable, so there really isn’t a need for a second drug, at this time.
One thing you might consider asking the doctor to do. Instead of getting an Eligard shot in July, get a prescription for Orgovyx. Use it for the last six months. It allows your testosterone to rise much more quickly once you get off. It will probably do that if you use it for the last six months.
Not sure where you live or how much you’ve spent on drugs already. Orgovyx is a little expensive, if you are on Medicare the maximum you can pay for drugs all year is $2000. With some insurance, you don’t have to pay anything. If you have lower income there are ways to get Orgovyx discounts, Even Bayer has had Discount programs. I know people who have gotten it free for a year.
