Dr Scholz says on You Tube video's that about 50% of older people never get their Testosterone back to their pre-treatment levels. I asked My Radiation oncologist at UCLA what if I don't take hormone therapy. He said my chances of cancer recurrence is 50%! ADT cuts it down by 50%.
He said ADT makes Radiation more effective.

@ava11 I've heard that and specifically asked. I was told "it might be slightly lower but because you're under 65 and only on it for six months you're a good candidate to recover and Orgovyx has a quicker recovery."
In the prostate cancer world doctors use very deceptive definitions of "continence," "testosterone recovery" and "potency."
The average person thinks of "continence" as not peeing on yourself while many doctors and studies consider one pad a day to be "continent."
The average person thinks of "testosterone recovery" as, well, recovery.
The average person thinks of "potency" as being able to get an erection when stimulated while doctors consider someone who has to use pills or injections when they didn't before treatment to be "potent."
I think I could have been better prepared for the fallout, and made better decisions, if I'd known the truth up front.
