@northoftheborder Well, if you couple that with Dr Weisserug’s (sp?) recent work on ADT, it seems now that being on ADT long term - or even being a lifer - does not lead to castrate resistance, one of the main reasons for these controversial holidays.
As @jeffmarc points out, being on ADT is hard work; there’s the lure of saying “screw it, I’m gonna die anyway so let’s eat, drink and be merry” and I totally get that mindset.
On the other hand, the disciplined approach of controlling blood pressure/diabetes with daily exercise and diet WILL keep you alive for many years.
It’s really a choice made early on and the results speak for themselves. My brief stint of 6 months on ADT gave me no ill effects because I watched what I ate religiously and I exercised like a madman. Could I do that for the rest of my life?? I don’t know if I could and I hope I never have to find out. Best,
Phil
