Welcome to the club.. after 2 years of ADT and a holiday of 8 months I still experience hot flashes and sweats during the night.
I have learned to adapt and get back to sleep.. it is the price we pay for extending our lives with PC….

You bet. I was diagnosed in 2015. No symptoms but a PSA of 16. Had surgery at Mayo and 37 rounds of radiation treatments. I was good until 2021 when the PSA became detectable and began to rise. In December of 2023, the PSA hit 2.9 and I decided I had to take this seriously. So, started Orgovyx in January 2024. PSMA PET scan in January was negative. But yes, the side effects are annoying, however, the alternative is worse.
