@grandpun Did you take any ADT "optimizers" with your Lupron shots? Like Zytiga, Nubeqa, or old school Casodex?

No add-ons. Just Lupron every 3 months. that seemed to be enough.

Something to be aware of when being on ADT. Being on ADT alone can cause you to become castrate resistant. It happened to me after 2.5 years of being on ADT.

If you are put on a drug like Zytiga or Nubeq that can greatly extend the amount of time before you become castrate resistant.

Being castrate resistant can make it more difficult to treat your cancer and can reduce the amount of time drugs work.
