I am 78 and have been on Lupron for six years, followed by Orgovyx For three years. I live a normal life, Have to exercise because of what it does to the muscles. I’ve taken bone strengtheners for the last eight years. Nobody would have any idea I have prostate cancer, even though I’ve had it for six years and had four reoccurrences in the 16 years I have had prostate cancer.

I was running a mile twice a day until my orthopedist told me he would have to replace my hip again sooner so now I only walk as fast as I can twice a day. Go to the gym three times a week or do Equivalent weight exercises at home.

ADT has some real beneficial effects when it comes to killing your prostate cancer cells after radiation. You are a Gleason nine, Very high chance of reoccurrence, It really doesn’t make sense not to take ADT. I was only a 4+3.
