Hey all. Just got my PSA and testosterone three months post SBRT and in month 4 of Orgovyx.

Testosterone is 14.25 ng/dL

Just had the blood draw 2 hours ago and results were pushed to my portal. Meet with my RO in 10 days.....I am THRILLED with the results!

Stay Strong Brothers!

Toolbelt,
Congratulations! I've been waiting to see how you made out. Fantastic results. It's a GREAT feeling isn't it. Maybe your RO will let you off the hook with the Orgovyx like mine did.
Let's remember to keep all the other guys in our prayers.

Happy Easter Brother
Jack

Thanks Jack!
It IS a great feeling! As to the Orgovyx.....as long as I seemingly have the PC on the ropes, as well as I am tolerating Orgovyx, even if he gives me a reprieve....I may just keep keeping on.
All the best Brother.

toolbelt,
did you start orgovyx prior to SBRT? My CT Simulation is on April 1st and my first SBRT treatment on April 8th.
You were able tolerate SBRT treatment and Orgovyx simultaneously?

I started Orgovyx 9 days before my first SBRT. At that point my T was already down from 517 to 27.

I tolerated SBRT with very few problems. I was a little tired after the first fraction but I think that was more "emotion based" rather than actual treatment based. I had no side effects during the 5 SBRT fractions. I had a Barrigel spacer placed. I had some scant blood and mucous during bowels movements for three days after my final treatment, but that totally resolved within 5 days....to the point I went on a two week SCUBA trip in Honduras 2 weeks after my final SBRT. The only side effect with Orgovyx is mild hot flashes...about two per night. I purposely lost 8 pounds prior to starting Org and have kept it off. I hit the gym hard three days a week for two hours at a crack, I walk 18 holes of golf twice a week, I am watching calories, sugar and portions. My latest blood test did show a ____slight____increase in glucose and LDL. Those are known possible side effects of Org.
I am telling you Brother....if you get along as well as I have with SBRT and Org then we BOTH are truly, truly fortunate.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Stay Strong Brother.
