So much missing information. While you do, tell us what your Gleason score is, you don’t give us any other information about yourself Or your biopsy. How old you are is a critical issue in how you are treated when you have prostate cancer,, we have no idea how old you are.

You are right it would not be a standard of care to only go with ADT and/or an ARSI, But if you are 88 years old, Then the likelihood of your cancer coming back and getting worse is pretty low and the pills or shots will take care of it for quite a long time. In your case, if they were giving you only Darolutamide And you are in your late 80s, It might be a gift to you to not give you ADT, to see if the other drug will work alone. ADT will give you many more side effects, So that could be a good choice.

If you can go on the drugs in your PSA drops to undetectable, then that may be all you need if you are in your late 80’s.

Thank you for the reply, what relevant information would you like to know from the biopsy and the Pet scan? I’m 73, my PSA is 7.5 since diagnosed about a month ago
My Gleason score is 5+4 on four out of 5 and one been negative, it’s considered aggressive and metastatic it has spread to the bone area around the prostate and two lymph nodes it’s also on my left rib, left shoulder and above the liver however it’s very very small cell throughout.

Thank you
