Further Treatment: Wondering about stopping hormone therapy?

Posted by johno47 @johno47, Aug 1, 2022

I had a radical prostatectomy in 2015. PSA started to double every 4 weeks 4 months later. Then had 40 radiation sessions. PSA started doubling every month after 2 months. Started hormone therapy in 2018 with eligard injections, then Orgavyx pills. Has kept testosterone near zero and PSA undetectable. The extreme exhaustion from the hormone therapy has me completely worn out and wondering how dangerous to stop the hormone therapy.

Close friend stage IV with mets to bones now on Xgeva and Lupron.....not sure if he is so sick from the injection last Monday or the cancer or both...Sorry this is vague, have read up on the meds but not sure if the cancer will get him before these medicines do with their side effects. I would appreciate your experiences. Thank you in advance.
