Testosterone should drop below five. Give it a little time. Your PSA should also drop to undetectable, Which is below .1.

Whether or not you have bone deterioration depends on how long you are on ADT. I started Fosamax about a year after I started ADT, Stayed on it for about six years and it kept my bones strong while I was on ADT.

Switch to Zometa two years ago and I just hit the maximum dosage time. Have to see what the DEXA scan shows.

Have you had a DEXA scan? It is necessary to find out what your bone density is. It can show if you need to be on a bone strengthener already. If somebody has osteopenia, then they probably need to get on a bone strengthener so they’ll not have osteoporosis. Ask your doctor about this.

@jeffmarc Bone density scan is normal

Jeff 🙂- he has bone mets - I think Bono asked what to expect further down with treatment options and success rates ? Maybe I am wrong, but just a thought .
