ADT Holiday

I know a lot of people that have done this and there is no one answer. Has your PSA been below .1 For a long time? If that’s true, then taking a holiday can make a lot of sense.

I know a few people that have taken more than one holiday. A couple of them have ended up with a few metastasis after the second time, but it’s been manageable for them. Some people don’t have to come back for many years, others have their PSA rise too much within nine months to a year and then have to get back on ADT.

Because you were metastatic You could have your cancer come back, but if you worked with Doctor Scholz, seen at PCRI, He would just zap whatever came back and send you on your way. He feels that Zapping whatever comes up is the best solution. Check out the last hour and a half of the most recent PCR I conference on YouTube and hear him talk about it.

How many radiation zaps do you typically need for a lesion ?

23 months Oorgovyx/abi undetectable psa after 45 days. Taking holiday 2 months now had devised a plan to get pet scan if and when psa rose and identify and zap Mets if possible. I have been alone in this course of treatment. Glad to hear others have this thought also
