How long do they want you on ADT? My husband has a similar situation PSA 9, Gleason 7 unfavorable 76 yrs old in excellent health, diet and exercises daily. He was treated in France with 8 wks of radiation and the radiologist recommended 2-3 yrs of ADT which seems to be an established protocol. He is in the 6th month and starting to have fatigue, weakness and joint pain. We are trying to find out if that is a similar duration in the United States for his situation or a protocol applied systematically in France. I know there is more and more controversy over ADT duration vs side effects and quality of life and progression of the cancer.
