Weighing the cancer risk reduction & quality-of-life cost of ADT?

@jeffmarc I get all that with regular Kaiser Medicare and never pay for any doctor or have a medication max. Medications are either free, $5 or $7 per month if generic. I pay about $200 for a PET scan and nothing for radiation. I did pay about $200 for a dual IPP/AUS surgery with 24 hours in the hospital. Everyone on Medicare is eligible for Silver Sneakers free gym memberships, although I get free membership for my whole family because I teach yoga at 24 Hour Fitness. I guess all plans are different.

Forgot to mention the one benefit of my Kaiser plan.
For the last eight years, I’ve been a patient of the only Genito urinary oncologist In the Kaiser system in the country. She has never failed to answer a question I have asked, and never had to say “I’ll have to look into it.” My questions can get quite esoteric at times, She really keeps up.
She was trained at UCSF, which has a really good Prostate cancer group of doctors.

I have Kaiser as well, But I’m on the advantage plan.
I know my sister in Oregon pays almost nothing for Kaiser And has cheaper prices.
Interesting how they charge different prices in different places.
