I have BRCA2 And I’ve been on ADT for nine years. I’ve had four reoccurrences because the BRCA does not allow you to get cured. I’ve had surgery 3 1/2 years later my PSA started rising and I’ve had salvage radiation, 2 1/2 years later the PSA came back up and I moved to Lupron. Nine years later, 2 more reoccurrences, I’m just waiting until the drugs I’m on stop working. Then I move to a PARP Inhibitor. Hopefully, that will work.

I’m one of the easiest Cases because I started as a 4+3 Gleason. I know many other people with BRCA2 that have had much more aggressive cases, And shorter lives.. Make sure if you stop ADT that you get tested monthly. I got it at 62 and I’m now 77. My brother got it at 75, My father died of prostate cancer so that that’s why he has it. He doesn’t have BRCA2 So he got it a lot later in life.
