I am in my 9th month of ADT and finished my RT 6 months ago. The side effects are getting worse and now my blood pressure has skyrocketed. I am considering stopping my ADT. I guess I am asking if I am alone on considering this.
Hi ADTsuffering
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve one of the community champions and my experience of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
Most of the community is structured by specific cancer types or expereinces, if I am right ADT is a treatment for prostrate cancer and if you shared your post in the Prostate cancer forum others with more experience in this area might be better able to support you. If you click of the link it should take you to that forum, you would need to join to start a new post.
<<hugs>>
