@I don’t believe I said I had no problems with ADT. I just try to identify them and apply the appropriate fix if one is available. ADT made me pre-diabetic, raised my cholesterol to 240, and gave me osteoporosis. I changed the diet twice to fight the high glucose and eventually asked for and received a prescription for Metformin, which has helped others in Trials on metabolic issues. A cardiologist prescribed statins and ezetiimbe, which cut the cholesterol in half. I started on Prolia last month for the osteoporosis. ADT is the pits but it something I have to live with.

@jeffmarc Thanks for your reply Jeff. Ok on the newsletter, I will check it out.
I forgot to mention gleason scores in my original note, they are 8,8, 7 found in3 of 12 areas in the prostate. I haven't had radiation but have discussed that at length with an oncologist.
I have been doing watchful waiting since early in 2025 with no meds being taken for prostate
cancer .
