My suggestion would be to consult with a Medical Oncologist (MO) at a Center of Excellence.
ADT and other prostate cancer therapies are complex decision making processes and MOs should be directing or consulting with your Urologist.
Reluctant to say more w/o knowing more,.
BUT I would EXPECT a Urologist to actively include Oncology in the development, recommendation and implementation of a treatment plan for what you describe as Advanced Postate cancer.
Best wishes to you.

Agreed. Urologist who also do some cancer treatments is not the same as an oncologist. It all depends on the treatment, and the outcome. If the PSA goes down to 0.2 or 01 or even lower, then the outcome is much better than say at 1 or 2. The biological explanation being that as much as 99 % of the cancer can be eliminated at that level. It all depends on the confidence and experience of the oncologist.
Dont mind me. I am just a layman trying to make some sense of the whole thing.
