Brian, are you still on hormone treatments? We have communicated before. My husband will be completing his 5 weeks of radiation this Friday. He had his hormone injection May 15 and is scheduled for the next in late October. He has been on abiratarone since the first week in June. He has diarhea a few days per week , his libido seems to be negligible. He does his own weight workout every other day, in the hope of retaining muscle mass and bone density. I asked the radiation oncologist if they would be doing a PSMA after the radiation is completed but he said probably not until he has had two hears of the hormone therapy. I can see his lack of energy, and I am hoping that he will be able to get his testosterone back ...I fear that he will atrophy and not be able to be who he was. I can't explain it but I see a resolve that this is just the way things are going to be for the rest of his life... I am wondering why the doctors feel that he will be on hormone therapy for the rest of his life. I believe he has 5 lesions in lymph nodes. Quality of life is so important but I would never sacrifice how long he lives for that. He has always been so healthy. Is it normal to be on ADT and hormone therapy for the rest of your life? I saw Dr. Geo interviewing a doctor on youtube yesterday and he and the doctor seemed to be questioning the need for ADT if radiation has done its job.
