What are Short-term ADT's long-term side effects?

It would appear my prostate cancer has returned. And has metastasized to several lymph nodes. I’m currently doing only SPRT on the lymph nodes, which is very precise and hopefully this will buy me some more time and maybe cure me. I noticed you’re using nubeqa. my oncologist has also recommended this knowing my strong reluctance to doing ADT therapy. He said this works differently and will not cause all the different side effects from traditional Adt therapy. What’s your experience? Results, side effects, etc
Sounds like you’re doing well!

I was on Zytiga for 2 1/2 years and the side effects of that drug are just incredible. Causes high blood pressure caused me to have multiple afib events, Caused me to have severe hot flashes and more.
Nubeqa On the other hand has shown me no side effects at all. It doesn’t pass the blood brain barrier so it doesn’t cause brain fog. It works, even if you have testosterone, though if you have too much, it can be a problem In how effective it is. When I was on Zytiga I was undetectable for one month in 2 1/2 years. With Nubeqa I’ve been undetectable for the last 23 months. I know many people using it as their only drug a lot of them are in their late 70s and 80s. A couple of people have reported fatigue side effects, but it is rare. I have been on ADT For almost 9 years and adding Nubeqa has been really great, I’ll be 78 in a couple of weeks and I could not be more pleased with it. Had PC for 15 years and I have BRCA2 which causes it to keep reoccurring, nice to have a drug that keeps it under control.
