Sir  Age 79 years. Prostate cancer spread to Lymph and adjoining areas. Taking Zoladex for last 18 months. PSA down to 0.5 from 14.  No other problem. Someone has advised to stop Zoladex for sometime and restart when PSA increases. Shall I stop Zoladex now as I have been taking for last 18 months and my SPA is down to 0.5 from 14. Whenever PSA increases, I can Zoladex again. Please guide me
