Who prescribes ADT?

Posted by TM91 @tmestanas91, 1 day ago

I’m working with Cleveland clinic and went to Mayo Jax last week to start the 2nd opinion process. I’m working on getting all my scans to Mayo. In the meantime I met with the surgeon at CC. He recommended ADT and then surgery. That’s all I have so far. I’m meeting the CC oncologist on Tues and their radiation oncologist on 3/7th. I’m wondering who will get me started on treatment. I’m 61, gleason9, clean scans( mri, bone, PSMA). Once I get feedback from Mayo I can decide on next step. I’m leaning towards surgery since surgeon felt he could get good margins. I’m very fit and exercise daily. Walked 5 miles today, gym several sessions per week, lots of golf very active. Thank you for your insights. You all have been fantastic!

@jerryegge do you did ADT then surgery ? How long before surgery? I’m hitting the gym to stay strong. Thank you for your input.

Surgeons have told me that 2 months is the standard before surgery.
