@pesquallie I'm glad your condition is improving. I'm told that a significant advantage of oral ADT is that the effects dissipate faster when discontinued, but I've had every side the manufacturer lists, plus one or two. My relatives usually pass in our 70s, so it's questionable what my extent and quality of life will be once done with this treatment. I'm this far in, so I'll continue, and at least this disease has gotten me into weight training at the "Y."

@jime51 that's an interesting question, is exercise and weight training recommended to those on ADT? I mean, just thinking about it, it's never good to just laze around, but with zero testosterone it's going to take some serious discipline to keep at it and I have to wonder at the results - could it result in raising testosterone, even a little, and would that be good or bad?
