Stopping ADT Scared and Anxiety Update

You’ve been undetectable for two years.. Many different doctors would tell you to at least stop and get monthly blood tests for a few months to see if it comes back, It may not come back for a long time. I run into people with Gleason nine that just don’t have it come back for decades. You may be one of them unless you stop you will never know.
The thing is so many people stop taking ADT And find their PSA doesn’t rise for a long time, If at all. Lots of people in the user groups I belong to stop their drugs and restart them if it comes back.

Yea, but what's the danger that the PSA starts rising and the cancer develops into something that's difficult to manage?
I guess the theory is if I'm having PSA taken very often (whatever that is), that if it starts to rise we'll be on top of it and catch anything as early as it could be?
