@dgd1953 What was the reason for disagreeing with the Decipher score? That’s a pretty high score to just brush off.
Unless you had severe comorbidities ADT is not dangerous short term.
Orgovyx would have been better than Lupron - I will go along with that.

@heavyphil He didn’t disagree with the score, but rather with the need for ADT. He emphasized the importance of testosterone for different bodily functions especially cardiovascular health. He was also of the opinion that the benefits of ADT were small and not worth the accompanying negative QOL effects. My urologist initially planned to give me ADT injections, but changed his mind after consulting with my RO. Were they right? So far, so good. But time will tell.
