Thanks Jeff, Good advice and yes I've changed my diet. If not i would of had diabetes by now. It's been many years I've been in the pre-diabetic state. It runs in my family.

What is your opinion about hormones and the affect it could have on the heart? Someone with Coronary Artery Disease. Some studies I've read showed hormone therapy was very dangerous for someone with heart conditions?

Just ADT is not too hard on the heart for most people. I’m not a cardiologist so I can’t say how it would Affect you. I know people that have heart issues that have been on ADT. When I was having surgery a few months ago, they did not have me stop Orgovyx, Wanted me to stop Nubeqa But my oncologist told them that was not necessary. Because I’ve had multiple Afib Events they were cautious, but ADT didn’t seem to be a factor.

You really need to speak to the doctor about that though, I don’t know the extent of your CAD And even if I did, I would not feel competent to make a recommendation.

Now, if they were to ask you to go on Zytiga, I would say be very cautious, It is hard on the heart.
