ADT vacation: When do you start treatment again?

Dr. Schellhammer, a prominent urologist, former president of the AUA, has used transdermal estradiol, a.k.a. tE2, for 18 years, instead of standard ADT drugs, after his disease became castration resistant.
He experienced a marked slowing of disease progression and a dramatic improvement in his overall well-being and performance after switching from standard ADT. He is using his credibility as a world renowned urologist to promote the use of tE2, especially for patients whose experience with standard ADT drugs leads them to need to take a break from the deteriorating quality of life associated with those drugs.

Dr. Schellhammer Attends, almost all of the ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings. If you want to ask him some questions he is available there.
He actually hasn’t been on it for 18 years continuously. He talked about that at the meeting Tuesday. He went to ADT for a while for a particular trial he was involved in and then went back to Estradiol.
Richard Wassersug PhD, Who has been leading the creation of the Estradiolinitiative.org Has been on estradiol for over 22 years. An interesting thing is that the people on estradiol do not seem to become castrate resistant While on it.

@climateguy It's a shame that estradiol is contra-indicated for anyone with a history of blood clots (as I just reconfirmed with my oncologist last week). That likely rules out a lot of us. 😟
