Can Prostate Cancer "Take a New Trajectory"?

My surgical urologist & radiation oncologist agreed to “throw the kitchen sink” at it, regardless of any findings. Due to my Gleason & decipher, they didn’t want to wait. So they did radiation & ADT. I guess we’ll never know if it was necessary, but I can’t complain! So far, so good. Best to you, Surfer.

My situation is similar. Since both Gleason and Decipher were high, Ive had prostatectomy + radiation + 2 1/2 years ADT. My PSA has been < 0.01-- but you never know. I've been off ADT for just 5 weeks. First PSA since coming up next month.
Given my cancer is high risk, I just can't understand why the Drs would want me to come off ADT. Why take the chances "just to see what happens"? Make zero sense to me.
