Decision to continue or discontinue hormone treatments in stage 4.

This question really can't be answered without additional information such as stage of cancer, Gleason score, extent of disease etc. My understanding is that hormone therapy is the backbone of treatment for those of us with metastatic disease, although many MO (mine included) are opting for intermittent ADT to preserve quality of life.

yea I have been confused with that anyway . I have a node that has escaped but not gone anywhere , he is always reminding me that is not metastatic " disease'. there are no distant metastatic issues I know of . And it seems that the lupron strategy is giving way to more curative thinking. I hate the hormone on every level . It is unnatural and renders quality of life to the lowest common denominator
