ADT injection: Benefits worth the toll it will take on my body?

Just one point to add: instead of ADT injections (Lupron or Firmagon) you can get ADT in pill form these days (Orgovyx).
I found a big quality-of-life improvement when Orgovyx became available in Canada, because I no longer had to deal with swelling and 2–3 days of flu-like symptoms after every monthly Firmagon injection.

@northoftheborder Firmagon injections will often result in swelling and other undesirable injection symptoms.
There are many types of ADT besides Lupron, Firmagon, and Orgovyx. There are other ADT injectables like Eligard, Prostap, Camcevi, Lucrin, Zoladex, Trelstar, Pamorelin, and Decapeptyl. (I had Eligard.)
No matter which ADT is chosen, the literature indicate that resistance-training exercises minimize ADT side-effects.
