After one year with such a low PSA, it may make sense, But the longer-term of ADT is recommended for a reason.

Rick Davis talked about this type of decision in the recent ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer meeting. Rick, who started ancan.org, talked about his friend who had a Gleason nine and decided that after a year of ADT he would stop because it Interfered with his running a big company. He encouraged the guy not to do it, But he did it anyway. Within a few years, he had to have chemo, it had spread considerably. He died not long after. Just something to think about. Weigh how aggressive your case is, what aggressive things were found. Did you get a decipher test to find out your likelihood of a reoccurrence?.

Lots of things to think about for a Gleason nine.

@jeffmarc Thanks Jeff.

Looks like I might have to tolerate the fatigue a little longer, which btw is making me an efficiency expert finding ways to do things around the house with as little energy expenditure as possible, and accept looking more like the Pillsbury Doughboy for a little longer,
