I am 24-month program of Leuprolide & Abiraterone for biochemical recurrence that had a PSA of 19. My surgery 11 years ago had a GS7 (3+4). I'm 12 months in so far, and so far, so good.

I had robotic prostatectomy 2006. GS6. Recurrence in 2016. HDT Lupron and Casodex for 6 years. Treatment holiday for 2 years beginning 2021 as PSA stayed low and body able to recover. PSA began to rise again and at PSA 3.7 started back on HDT. Side effects of flashes, fatigue, and aches kicking my butt as I am reacclimating to treatment again. So, hang in there, do all you can now to keep the number of enemy soldiers at bay for as long as you can, discouraging them from moving to bones etc., because then the war takes a different track.
