Hi, thanks so much for your reply. that made me feel much better Sir! I have consulted with 2 other Urologists (paid) and they said waiting 6 months should be ok but not like a year or more. Now I do have access to Bicalutate or any other ADT of my choice but I read that they could cause acute kidney damage. Since my husband already has been diagnosed with stage I renal disease (through an ultrasound, kidney function is normal though creatinine is on the borderline 1.2) i am in a dilemma as to whether opt for ADT before surgery...

Instead of ADT, you could consider estradiol. A recent study called the patch study found that taking estradiol Was just as effective as ADT and had many fewer side effects. People lived just as long whether they were on estrogen or ADT.

You can look up information about it on the web, and here are a couple of links to check about it.
