Lymph node cancer is not the same as prostate cancer and doesn’t live on testosterone.

Yes, you can stop ADT, But if your PSA has not stayed undetectable for at least six months, you may not be pleased with the results in a few months. You don’t mention your Gleeson score and that is a real factor. If it’s a seven and yes, six months undetectable should be fine if it’s an eight or a nine that may not be enough time.

You can always stop ADT for a few months to see what happens and if your PSA rises along with your testosterone, you can start back on Orgovyx.

If I read correctly, my PSA will never be undetectable because I‘ve not had surgery. Gleason 7 (3+4, 4+3); PET N1M0, both iliac lymph nodes. 44 radiation treatments, 26 to pelvis generally and 18 additional to prostate only. My team wants me on Orgovyx 24 mos, but I propose Orgovyx 12 months and switching to Nubeqa for another 6-12 mos. Day after radiation ended, my PSA had dropped from 6 at diagnosis last fall to .11 on 4/23. Started Orgovyx 12/24/24.
