Hi @ga73ds,

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will meet many active members in the Prostate Cancer group. Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to share experiences to help offer support and share questions to ask with our provider.

As a reminder, no treatment decisions should be made without conversations with your providers, especially those pertaining to medications. Members can share what has worked and what they have discussed with their providers in the past that they found helpful, but stopping a medication or starting one should always be done in conjunction with your provider.

@ga73ds, when you had a conversation with your provider about stopping it, were they able to talk through the pros and cons of a rising PSA vs. long-term use of ADT? That seems to be a crossroads and it is certainly understandable why you may be scared and hesitant.
