If you haven’t had metastasis and your PSA remains < .1, I would suggest taking a holiday from ADT. But first, I would suggest you ask your doctors to talk to each other, come up with a plan together and explain their reasoning to you. My medical oncologist is more enthusiastic about ADT than my radiation oncologist. I am currently off ADT for one year after three and a half on. So far, all is good. I had a single metastasis on my sacrum that was radiated.

Unfortunately, he had metastases, about 5 of them in lymph nodes close to the prostate. His Gleason number was 4 +3.

I have read several articles and watched videos which indicate that physical exercise is vital. There is a Dr. Newton from Australia who has studied this in depth. He said walking isn't good enough. Serious exercise is vital... especially strengthening the larger muscles of the body.
