You are so lucky and one of the very few as well. Most suffer greatly from ADT(Lupron) and others. It has been pure hell for myself and have quit 2 times now. I now understand how some just give up. Suicide is not uncommon on this S**t Oncology Drs' never mention this but it does happen. Lost one of our infrequent support group members 2 years ago now at 59 YO. Shot himself in his back yard. Drs' will NEVER mention this.

I am so sorry for your suffering, and that we have lost Brothers in this Battle. However, harsh as this sounds, we need to educate ourselves about our disease, our treatment options, outcomes and side effects. Yes, in an ideal world our caregivers would take care of all of that,....But they do not, and the world is not ideal.
Stay Strong Brother, We Got This.
