As you know I became castrate resistant 2 1/2 years after starting ADT. I’ve stayed on it since then, because not all the cells are resistant to it. My oncologist is pretty emphatic about my Not stopping it since I have BRCA2.
After eight years, I wonder if the side effects of it are really worth the risk of continuing it. Nubeqa worked perfectly to keep my PSA down even during the eight months I stopped taking Orgovyx, Figuring, as long as I’ve been on it my testosterone would never come back. Fat chance.
The one big benefit is that I don’t really have many annoying side effects from ADT.

@jeffmarc Sorry, I assumed stupidly on my part) that you were not ADT resistant yet; you’ve mentioned PARP inhibitors as your next step and I thought it would address castrate resistance.
Otherwise you seem (that’s another assumption on my part) to be doing well but I realize all the hard work that entails on a daily basis. It must get exhausting at times…
