The fact that you are on Lupron and Zytiga so quickly means that you’ve got an aggressive case of prostate cancer . It was six years after my prostatectomy before I went on Lupron and 2 1/2 years after that I went on Zytiga. I have A genetic problem called BRCA2 which causes my cancer to keep coming back and that’s why I’m on ADT for eight years.

After radiation, you can frequently stop the drugs after a year or two if your PSA stays undetectable for over a year. I think they are really worried about your aggressive cancer so they may want you to stay on the drugs longer.

Have you had genetic testing?

You could get genetic testing to find out if it could be a factor. Does anybody else in your family have cancer? You can get it here for free if you live in the United States, takes 2 to 3 weeks to get the results and a genetic counselor will call you. They will send you a kit that you return in the mail. Don’t check the box that you want your doctor involved or they won’t send you the kit until they talk to your doctor.
