I have been on firmagon shots and xtandi pills for over 2 years.Diagnosed with stage 4 with metastesis to bones lungs and lymph nodes.Did radiation to my spine immediately after
diagnosis because they said I would be confined to a wheelchair.I refused chemo opting for
a change in diet .I walk for over 2 hours on most days and try to keep moving and busy.
Dr.Scholz says stats reveal that stage 4 patients can take a break from adt and return later
safely.I am 65 years pld and curious if anyone tried this?

I know a lot of people that have done this when their PSA has stayed undetectable for a year. For some, it works for a long time for others not so much.

Your problem is, without Pluvicto or chemo the lung mets can be a problem That causes your PSA to rise quickly.

You can have all the other Mets zapped with SBRT radiation.
