How long does your oncologist have you on ADT?

Posted by tjv1156 @tjv1156, 3 days ago

I had surgery in March 2020. I was undetectable for 3 years, then started to see some PSA. .05.....06 ... Eventually climbed to .25 in Feb/2025, which triggered follow up treatment, starting in Late March 2025. Orgovyx for 6 weeks then 25 radiation treatments which ended 6/25/25. I am scheduled for ADT for 6 months,ending around Oct .1. My question is- is 6 months the norm?

Might depend on your age and financial status . I m 76 and retired now from being a bus driver for 12 years. I was an ATC for 4 years and got fired by movie star Reagan, that bad event of course led me to a better paying job, less stressful too at a nuclear plant for 21 years, bus driving came after this. Moral as discussed before- bade things can lead to better things. The US Govt. Screwed itself losing all that talent: just like what’s happening today.

I appreciated ATC during my flying years. Some private pilots are nervous about them and go out of their way to avoid controlled airspace, but I always considered them a partner in the cockpit.

After all, we both wanted the same thing: get my slow little Piper the h*ll out of their airspace as quickly and efficiently as possible. 🙂

And I'd help by offering intersection takeoffs, LAHSO, short turns to base and final, etc to fit me in more easily with the big iron.

Can I ask, what dose of prednisone is everybody on, and how many times a day?
