What's your experience with Orgovyx (relugolix)?

Orgovyx: I have some good news and thought that I would share it.
Salvage Radiation tx together with 4 mos ADT Orgovyx Feb - June 2023.
Following RP Aug 2022 w/ immediate 90 day postop BCR of .19.
Nov 2023: uPSA test undetectable at < .02 and Testosterone 274 (up from undetectable in Mar < 2.5 w/ Orgovyx)
Feb 2024: uPSA test continues undetectable at < .02 and Testosterone 347 (80% of pretreatment tx level).
Extremely pleased; and hoping for continued remission of my G 9 PCa w/ Extraprostatic Extension.
Orgovyx experience was "as advertised": Rapid reduction of PSA and Testosterone upon starting.
Dissipation of ADT SEs 95% (mild to moderate for me; still sucked) 4 - 8 mos after stopping.
We go from PSA test to PSA test, and my PCa is anticipated to raise its ugly head again at some point, but hoping/praying for extended remission and next generation treatments.
Best to all.

That's great news!
I just want to confirm, having Gleason 9 PCa w/ Extraprostatic Extension, your med team only prescribed 4 mos of Orgovyx?
If that's true it seems the docs are all over the chart on ADT use.
Mine was Gleason7 w/o Extraprostatic Extension and the doc is saying two years and now starting to chirp about staying on it with a steady PSA of < .006 for over a year now.
He's not even testing my t level. I may start insisting on the next blood test.
I wish you continued success!
