You are so lucky. diagnosed 3/2019 PSA 43 Gleasons 7-9 RP 5/2019 38 lymph nodes removed, 8 with PC, all nerves too. RT then ADT and the horrors of Lupron begun, 2 sessions over 2 years, quit both due to horrible SE's. PSA 0.03 then started to rise again . Now Abiraterone only. Done with Lupron. Bad SE's with this similar to Lupron. How bad? Can maybe crawl to the toilet from bed. Nausea, hot flashes, very weak, dizzy spells, dry mouth at night, almost suffocating. sore all over. Major brain fog. Impossible to get more than 1 hour of sleep. I now understand how some just give up. Suicide while rare, does happen.

Yes, it seems everyone is unique and have unique reactions to the various therapies. Some call it luck, others blessing. Still, I think the same “thing” is present in both. It is a mystery to me how I am what I am.
