The fact that the cancer has spread outside, the prostate means that it is in your bloodstream and could come back at any time, Anywhere. That is why you need to be on ADT and even an ARSI (Zytiga or a lutamide) For the best chance of it, not coming back soon.
Doctors have come to the conclusion that staying on ADT alone can cause castrate resistance. if you get on an ARSI it can delay castrate resistance. Median lifespan after reaching castrate resistance is two years.
Speak to your doctor about this and find out if getting on an ARSI is your best chance of long-term survival.
Getting on ADT can cause your A1c to go up. You are prediabetic and it could cause you to become diabetic. My A1c is 5.4 and I keep it there by being very careful about what I eat. You really want to start doing that, Stay away from carbohydrates and red meat, which are not great for prostate cancer. The Mediterranean diet is close to what is recommended to Keep a healthy blood sugar.
