@daveinflorida - hey Dave - I'm currently on my 7th month of orgavux, I finished 28radition sessions mid August. My doctor wants 3yrs. ADT. My situation was gleason 8 with seminal vesicles also infected. My 1st psa came < 0.1 . Just wondering your decision to only do 6months of ADT. I have been reading many studies suggesting intermentent ADT is okay with psa test regularly. Thxs - Gary - Sebastian Fl.

@garyhu My MO suggested 6 months. I was GL 3+4 and think that is the standard recommendation for that Gleason level.

@garyhu NCCN guidelines call for 12-36 months of ADT with hormone therapy for high-risk (Gleason 8) prostate cancer (see attached chart) - on the short end if there are no other risk factors, on the long end if there are other risk factors.
