Has anyone gone off hormone therapy (ADT) after radiation?

Posted by gkgdawg @gkgdawg, Sep 2, 2025

My husband has completed 5 weeks of radiation and 4 months of hormone therapy, 3.5 months ADT. His PSA is less than .2 The doctor seems pleased with the PSA and is hoping that it will soon be undetectable. If he gets to that point, can he take a break from hormone therapy and ADT. He gets his next hormone shot in October. I am hoping he will get Orgovyx , instead of the Elegard. I hate that the hormone therapy has impacted his muscle and bone density. He looks smaller to me. He is trying to do weights and he is signed up for a weight room next month, when we return home from our summer holiday. I would appreciate any input

Thank you for the good wishes. What probiotics and prebiotics do you take? My husband also takes Turkey Tail mushroom but in pill form.

@gkgdawg Did your husband take either/both probiotics prebiotics?
What brand?
I think I would like to take something like this for my gut microbiome.
Thanks
