How long does your oncologist have you on ADT?

Dang, I want a brain transplant with North.

I had been doing OK during my 4th year on Eligard, but then recent HDR Brachy + doubling the dosage of Flowmax + starting Xtandi is kicking my butt. Yesterday I took 4 naps. A few days ago I took my morning shower twice. I do still remember my wife's name, though.

I'll be chatting with my Mayo doctor in about a month, and if things aren't improving by then, I'll ask him about Nubeqa or other options.

Oh yeah, lots of naps the first 18 months or so for me too. I could think clearly, but I still got tired a lot until my body adjusted.

And let me add that I'm now deeply embarrassed about that post. I went overboard trying to counter the OP's unfounded fear that ADT would make her husband into a "drooling idiot," and ended up bragging in a way that's not consistent with my personal values. I apologise to everyone for that. Please disregard.

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming…
