@brianjarvis Thank you for the detail and the best of health to you moving forward! I was recently diagnosed with 4+3=7. I fall into the unfavorable category and hormone therapy is being recommended if I do RT. Did your treatment include ADT? If so, how did that factor into your testosterone recovery and being back to living your life?

@jesse65 Before we started my planned treatments, a 2nd opinion increased my Gleason to 7(4+3). Not knowing which was right - the 3+4 or the 4+3 (since they were both educated, experienced opinions) - I chose to be treated using the higher Gleason score. So we simply added 6 months (two 3-month injections) of Eligard to the treatment regimen.
Having been told that resistance-training was key to minimizing the side-effects of ADT, with weightlifting and cardio, my experience with ADT was fairly easy.
