More clinical information may help the forum respond.
How was it determined the PCa was in your lymph nodes, did you have surgery and they did a PLND, if so what did the pathology report say...or did you have imaging, if so, with what and what were the results? Ther e is other clinical history important in answering your question, how old, any health issues, how long did your medical team say you would be on the ADT...

In the meantime,do a literature search on doublet or triplet therapy. Here's one link, you can find others. As a side note, based on what you describe in your post, sinds like monotherapy, if so, I would consider revisiting that treatment plan with your medical team, seems like "old school."

Hi Kevin, I am a 63-year-old man. I had my prostate removed in 2014 went for a routine PSA test this year and it came back pretty high Had an abdominal MRI scan which revealed it had gone into my lymph nodes awaiting CT scan within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your concern and reading my post. we’ll have to see what the CT scan results are when itcomes back.
