Doc just recommended treatment options, head is spinning! Thoughts?

@northoftheborder - New Normal? After 12 years I wonder if just letting it take me wouldn't have been the best choice. Looks like I am going back on ADT (nothing is normal), think I'll ask how painful just not doing anything would be and how long it will take.

@briang1958 I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been on ADT and Apalutamide continually since 2021, and expect to be for the rest of my life, but while there are aspects I don't like, I generally tolerate it very well, and am grateful for the extra years it's giving me. I do understand that's not the case for everyone though.
For the OP, with Gleason 3+4, he might never even need surgery or radiation, much less ADT, but if he does end up getting a medical intervention, he'd probably be on ADT for only a short time, unlike us.

@briang1958 - Oh maybe I should go off forum for a while - I find I am probably not helping anyone and not a good cheerleader for this.
