Recurrent prostate cancer after 7 years
My doc has suggested short term adt. ..Has anyone used short term ADT therapy. I’m concerned about the side effects.
I’m also considering proton therapy if I’m a candidate . Any thoughts
Thanks all!

Do you have positive margins after prostatectomy?
I was on six months or Orgovyx pills and I think the side effects were very manageable. Biggest issues were occasional emotional moments, periodic heat induced fatigue and some weight gain (5-8 lbs). I never, to my knowledge, experienced any hot flashes.
For my money, I would go with Orgovyx vs Lupron and other shots. I've heard Orgovyx is just as effective with less side effects than the injected ADT drugs
Thank you for your sharing
Thanks for your thoughts…. Psa 2.82, PSMA CAT scan identified three spots two lymph nodes in the abdomen and pelvis, one each and a spot on my back. The spot on my back is probably false positive very fishy looking. I think the doctor will agree. My intent is to do MDT using proton therapy . More much more precise with little radiation if any to surrounding tissue and organs.
