Really strange they want you to hold off on Darolutamide, Which doesn’t reduce your testosterone so it doesn’t have any effect on the PSMA pet test.
The thing is, Getting the degarelix Shot stopped your cancer from growing and spreading. The Lupron shot does the same thing but reduces your testosterone even more only because you got it second. Some people get one degarelix Shot after another and it also keeps your testosterone way down.
Between the two drugs, your cancer has actually been stopped, Your PSA probably came down significantly as well. That makes it so that your radiation can be delayed a little without any negative effects.
Over at ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings, one of the doctors that attends almost every meeting talked about the fact that his urologist put off his rising PSA for a long time, resulting in him having a much more aggressive prostate cancer. I’ve heard the same thing from many other people. Some Doctors!!!! That sounds like your doctor that didn’t give you anything for 3 months in 2022. People have to be proactive, but they don’t know they need to do that when they are first diagnosed.

This statement I made was wrong
“ Really strange they want you to hold off on Darolutamide, Which doesn’t reduce your testosterone so it doesn’t have any effect on the PSMA pet test.”
Darolutamide would reduce your PSA and thus make the PSMA pet test less reliable. Not sure why I didn’t get it right the first time.
