Has anyone gone off hormone therapy (ADT) after radiation?

Thank you very much, John. My husband has been going to the gym three days a week, walking about 7 km on alternate days. We spoke with the Medical Oncologist this week, and I shared a link with her from PCRI which discussed intermittent ADT. She said that we can discuss it again in another 6 months. He has been on hormone therapy for 6 months so far.
Warm regards
Glenda

@gkgdawg I was on Lupron, Abiraterone and Prednisone for three years after SBRT for a single lesion on my sacrum. I chose intermittent ADT instead of continuous because the side effects were becoming increasingly severe. I have been off for 14 months and my PSA is still undetectable. I still have many of the side effects due to low testosterone, but my blood pressure, blood sugar and red blood cell counts have returned to normal. My testosterone is returning slowly.
