ADT, maybe not? Anyone opted out of ADT?

I’ve been on it for almost 9 years. I am 78 now. I’ve never had fatigue from it, but got terrible hot flashes which are pretty much gone now.
I do run on the track twice a day 1 mile, I go to the gym three times a week to keep my muscles in shape so I can get off the floor without assistance.
I’ve been on bone strengtheners for the last eight years.
Nobody would have any idea I am on these drugs. They are saving my life and they are worth it.

@jeffmark
I have similar results. Lots of exercise with few effects from ADT (Lupron). I do get tired in the afternoon, but I am 83 years old, so I can blame that on age. I get occasional night sweats, but no hot flashes.

@jeffmarc we agree with Jeff. Hubby Gleason 8, stage 3. Radiation and 3 years (so far) ADT. Hot flashes, loss of muscle and body hair, forgetful, sleep problems, etc. However, his goal is to enjoy his numerous hobbies and be there for his grandkids! So each person just needs to weigh the pros and cons of ADTand decide for themselves. There no right or wrong with this disease.
