I became castrate resistance 2 years after starting Lupron. That was almost 6 years ago. As your doctor said, the results may vary, It could take longer time or less time there’s no way to know.

Quick history

In 2010 I was 62 and a biopsy showed Gleason 3+4. Had surgery, after surgery they told me it was a 4+3. It was only stage two. 3.5 Years later it came back and I had radiation. 2 1/2 years later it came back and I went on Lupron. I became castrate resistant 2. years later and added biclautamide. 1 year later went on Zytiga, which kept my PSA down for 2 1/2 years., After some AFIB Issues I switched over to Nubeqa, The last 18 months I’ve been undetectable. I became stage four about six years ago. I did not find out I was BRCA2 Until four years ago.

Hi @jeffmarc ,
For high risk PCa, If you have to do salvage/adjuvent radiation, is it better to go on ADT before radiation for a couple years or better to wait to see if you have a BCR after radiation?
