My husband has just 6 months to go on a two year abiraterone + prednisone + Lupron depot (every three months) following radiation. He is Gleason 4 +5 advanced prostate cancer. We shall see what happens when it all stops. His psa is undetectable now, but who knows what will happen. Since we started treatment he has been doing ok. He is 81 and has slowed down a lot, but he does’t complain and we spend all of our time together. He has chosen not to have any further treatment other than palliative care if necessary following the end of the hormone therapy. I will let everyone know what happens.

I am also encouraged by your story and think that it will help a lot in my decision-making. Because you're saying that his PSA is now undetectable, but who knows what will happen? what more do you still want to check if his PSA is now undetectable.
