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.

@jeffmarc Yes I have a consult with my cardio doc, RO, MO. Looking at RO options for 4+3 localized to prostate at 2 different centers of excellence (2nd opinions, etc). PSMA, MRI, TP Biopsy all clear of spread beyond prostate. Biopsy 14 cores all benign except 2 cores showing 55% of pattern 7 in transition zone. Grade group 3.
