I had the PSMA- pet scan after having a biopsy that indicated prostate cancer. The reason for mine was to try to confirm that there was no spread outside the prostate which it did to the extent this test can( not totally accurate but much better than anything else) I was debating whether to have ADT which was recommended by the oncologist and radiologist for 4+3 unfavorable intermediate. As a result, I decided not to undergo ADT because of age 75 and ADT side effects. Good luck to you! Ron

I am also 75 had Gleason 9 and had RP and had a year of ADT ( lupron and Erleada ) I just came off of that treatment. The ADT side effects were mostly tired and sleep disorder and a minor rash in the 11 th month. The side effects were not all that bad for me. If ADT would work for you and are offered to you I think that it would be something that you should seriously consider. Good luck in the new year.
