The side effects of ADT for 4 to 6 months is no big deal for most people. My brother had it for six months at 77, Gave him hot flashes, but that was the only problem. The hot flashes did last for about six months after the drug had worn off, but they got milder as time went on. The radiation caused cystitis, but it wasn’t too bad and went away after a few months of the end of radiation. Flomax every other day was all he needed.

I’ve been on ADT for eight years, You would never know it if you met me.

If you want to counteract the minor effect that will have on your muscles, go to the gym three times a week and do a lot of situps.
