The first time I had radiation treatment starting in early 2019, my local urologist told me to stay on ADT for 24 months. Since then, I’ve read studies that have shown 18 months is the sweet spot.

I had spot radiation earlier this year at the Mayo clinic, and Dr. Davis, my radiologist, told me I needed to do at least 12 months, but if I could handle it, to do 18 months of ADT. My personal opinion after researching and more recent conversations with better specialist is that 18 months is sufficient.

The sweet spot will be if you do not experience to occurrence.. I have finished 24months of ADT and am on 6 month holiday to see if PSA still is undetectable… everyone is different and our pathways are different …
