Adding a second medicine question

I am T1cN1M0.
I am not asking how to get off ARSIs. I am asking if anyone with curative intent has gotten off ARSIs and what their experience has been. Have they stayed clear, has the cancer come back, did it reemerge as the same or something much worse, or are there just very few people who get off ARSIs unless they stop working, those kinds of things.
I will ask my doctors again but they have said I am not metastatic. They have not said I am oligometastatic either, that is a term they recognize but it’s something I’ve read about that sounds similar. I was mistaken if I said oligometastatic is my official diagnosis.

I know many people who have stopped their drugs after coming up undetectable for a year or so. As usual with prostate cancer, there is no standard. Some of the people went a couple years or more without Recurrence. Some people had multiple metastasis and had to have chemo or Pluvicto Along with getting back on ADT and an ARSI.
And as expected, some people had PSA rises and went back to the drugs After a few months or years.
One way to find out whether or not you have a high chance of reoccurrences to get a decipher test. There are some other tests you can also take that are similar. Speak to your doctor about this.
