Who is a good candidate for Intermittent ADT?

Who is a good candidate to take a holiday from ORGOVYX until psa start rising and then go back to taking ORGOVYX again?
Is it only applicable for non-aggressive cancers or High Gleason score or metastasized cancer?

Good morning and thanks for asking. I am caught up in the Kaiser out- of-plan referral snafu. I was authorized June 3 and am still waiting a call back from the urologist's office to schedule an appointment, although I have made two calls. I was told that they have not received the authorization, yet. In hindsight, the moment I received the auth, I should have taken it myself to the urologist. Anyway, a long way of saying 'no blood work', so am still on AS, like it or not! LOL!

I've been on an ADT holiday for 3 1/2 years now. Upon diagnosis I had a PSA of 54.0 and local mets in the pelvic cavity. I insisted on going on holiday due to joint pain and loss of muscle mass from ADT. I take daily doses of Turkey Tail tea and medical marijuana as well as vitamins and pre and probiotics. My last psa was 0.07 which was down from the previous test of 0.08. Wishing you the best.
