ADT and rising PSA

With those regular PSA tests, at what date did you come off of ADT?

Typically, those conventional wisdoms occur post-radiation & post-ADT. But, they all warrant close monitoring of both PSA and testosterone.

Yes, Prostatic Adenocarcinoma is a very slow growing cancer…until it isn’t. Which is why we did a PSA test on the last day of treatment, then 6 weeks later, then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 4 months for 2 years, and now we’re testing PSA every 6 months for 2 years. We’re now 5 years out and still confident in how it’s going.

Good luck!

@brianjarvis - Still on ADT, Brian. Therein lies the problem.
