There’s really no recommended time, Unless you take it into account, the seriousness of the prostate cancer case.

If you are a Gleason seven 3+4 You are unlikely to be given ADT (Orgovyx)

If you are a 4+3 you may be recommended to have six months.

If you are a 4+4, then you might be recommended to have 12 months

If you are a 4+5 or above 18 to 24 months

Even if you are a 4+3, but have large cribriform, intraductal, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE Or ECE Then you might also be recommended to have 18 to 24 months

It really is dependent on your prostate cancer case

I’ve been on it for eight years because I have BRCA2 and it Can cause my PSA to rises very quickly if I cut back on my drugs. Other people with very aggressive cases are also on it permanently.
