Radiation + ADT

Gleason 9, Stage 2, and 13mm tumor confined to prostate confirmed by PSMA Pet scan.
Easy decision for me to go with Orgovyx, especially given my cardiovascular status.
After 23 days, my testosterone dropped from 454 to "less than 6". And my PSA dropped from 30 to 4.
Hot flashes are annoying but worth it... peace of mind knowing low-T is starving my tumor, which provides the best chance for success of my radiation treatment plan (HDR Brachy + SBRT).

I was not able to get a deal on the Orgovyx so I’ve opted for the monthly injections of Firmagon which, I’m hoping, will have similar side effects to those reported for Orgovyx since they are both antagonists versus Lupron which is an agonist. I have my first injection in March after returning from my NZ-Australia cruise.
