I am on zytiga/orgovyx for nearly a year maintaining undectable psa. I am under a great deal of pressure to get radiation. My quality of life is quite good now and I would rather play the adt out for as long as I can. Did psa failure cause him to stop xytiga or some other reason?

He stopped Zytiga because his PSA went up and scans revealed many new spinal metastases, both indications that the Zytiga was no longer effective. His PSA was kept undetectable by Zytiga and Lupron for over three years, with no new metastases during that time. You could ask your doctor why he or she is urging radiation now instead of waiting until a PSA rise.
