I’m checking in to see how you’re doing. How is your PSA?
My doctor wants to put me on Lupron and Zytiga. I’m asking him if we can substitute Orogovyx for Lipton for better testosterone recovery after 2ys and treatment ends. He is being cautious as they are no big studies on the efficacy of the combo.

Same problem they don t trust anything that doesn’t have 5yr or longer studies. Orgovyx was only fda approved Jan 22. Long studies don’t exist yet . I’m on orgovyx/Zytiga only side effects fatigue and sweat a bit more. Orgovyx took my psa to undectable in 3wks still umdectable@months. Cautionary tale xytiga only seems to exist as generic abiriteroneacetate. Use 250x4 vs 50mgx2 huge ripoff in pricing on 500mg

Not sure if you’re asking me, but my docs have had me on both Ziga and Orgovyx since I had my proton therapy radiation last August. I am supposed to stay on both meds for two years. The orgovyx has been easy for me to tolerate, and I have had no side effects, except for the usual hot flashes. from my friends experiences with Lupron, I believe the Orgovyx is a more tolerable treatment. And, as you say, I believe that it’s a faster recuperation when we stop the Orgovyx.
I do have a noticeable drop in energy levels, and a little frustrated that I have to stay on these meds for two years. Since my proton therapy I’ve had two PSA tests both are less than 0.01.
