ADT duration after Radiation
During the PCRI conference, talking about the side effect of radiation on the penis, a doctor stated that you should ask your oncologist what is the clear benefits to continue ADT after Radiation because keep taking it can probably lead to a permanent ED. I am kind hesitant if I have to stop taking Orgovyx drug two months after the Radiation because of the side effects that that doctor mentioned.
Any thought about it?

2 Reactions@dpayton , thanks. I got the initial information from ecurb then started researching it. I'm taking close to 12 gm per day of the WBM powder as some of the data from the trials showed people taking up to 14 grams per day.
I'm also taking Turmeric, CBD oil and Taurine as each of those have had an effect on PC from different studies. Do searches on each of those and PC if you are interested.
I'm stage 4 with one spot on my hip bone according to the PET scan. Just finished radiation for both the prostate and hip so I hope it was all of it but taking the supplements in case there are more spots not picked up by the scan and maybe the additional stuff might kill off anything that may be floating around my body. It may be a lifelong thing taking these if my numbers stay low. Small price to pay,
Anyways, here are some links, but there's other information out there.

1 Reaction@dpayton I take this exact supplement and my last PSA test 18 months post radiation (didn't have surgery) was undetectable. But was it the mushroom supplement, luck or having a great medical team at a top-notch cancer center?

3 ReactionsThank you very much for your reply. Can you please tell me more about mushrooms capsules or powder, where to find them? a lot of people are talking those mushrooms, what so good about them? are they better than Orgovyx or Eligard?
Thank you for your reply. Can you please provide some more details about those white mushrooms capsules that everybody has been talking about?
@guerri2024 google: white button mushrooms for PSA CANCER TESTS. Read the many articles there.
@bonanzaman Thank you for all the links! I really appreciate it. The supplements certainly can't hurt. What was your gleason score? Mine was 9. Not great but I'm not giving in to this! No way!

@ecurb Quick question, why do you take 2 instead of 1? BTW, I took 2 this AM as well. lol
