Not many doctors will let you go on hormone therapy after having prostate cancer. That can really aggravate the cancer and get it growing and spreading quickly.
They do Hormone therapy alternating High dose testosterone with ADT drugs In advanced cases where People become castrate resistant to the ARPI. I can really screw up the Cancer because he doesn’t know which way to go when it all of a sudden gets testosterone and then gets ADT. That’s A style of BAT.
They can also do BAT, if you become castrate resistant to ARPI drug. In that case, they just give you testosterone for a while, And some people then can have the ARPI drugs work for them again.
Just some alternate treatments, you may not have heard of.

@jeffmarc Thanks for your two replies. Obviously I need to speak more with my urologist and possibly another too. Thank you again for your feedback. I have a lot to investigate before I go down any path now.
