How long does your oncologist have you on ADT?

I never bothered to check my post surgery biopsy for the gleason score, but it had gone from Gleason 3+4 to Gleason 4 +3. But still 7 so I guess that's why he put me on a 6 month regimen. That six months is about now. I had a PSA test yesterday and it was undetectable. I follow up with my onclogist Wed. and I'm hoping he's take me off the Orgovyx. My PSA was undetectable right after radiation so if had NOT been yesterday, that woould have been really bad news since my testosterone was wiped out by the Orgovyx. ( that was confirmed yesterday as well)

When I had my surgery and they found 4+3 after (Biopsy was 3+4). I still was able to go 3 1/2 years before it came back and had no ADT. I have BRCA2, which is a genetic problem that causes my body not to be able to fix DNA errors. If I hadn’t been for that, I might have been put into very long-term remission.
It appears that you had salvage radiation since you mentioned radiation. Did your PSA start to rise after surgery? How long did it take before it started to rise?
I was also undetectable after radiation. Had a six month ADT shot two months before my radiation. That worked for 2 1/2 years before my PSA started rising again.
Hopefully the radiation took care of it for you, ADT would be important if you did have your PSA start to rise after surgery.
