Hey, how soon after the orchiectomy did you start with antiandrogen therapy to deal with the 5% testosterone produced by adrenal glands? And is that a long term therapy?

It was prescribed about 2-4 weeks after if i recall. Had a little difficulty getting it filled (ins approved pharmacy) but have been faithfully on it ever since.
My oncologist is VERY happy with the results.
Yes, long term.
