I was also 4+3=7, trimodal treatment: Cyberknife and EBRT and started Orgovyx 6 weeks ahead of SBRT, and took it for 4 months. According to my RO, maximum effectiveness, shrinkage of cancer and slowing tumor growth, is at 6 weeks.

You should be able to find ample data on this topic.

You'll want to go on and off Orgovyx asap. I'm still having side effects 5 months after completion. They are minor, but, I want to be back to 'normal' as much as possible.

Seasuite,
What prompted you to do both EBRT and SBRT? Isn't either one would be effective for 4+3 PC? Do you think SpaceOar is only marginally beneficial? That was my RO told me: he did not recommend SpaceOar, but if I want it then he would order it. I know the GU risk without SpaceOar is only 3 to 4 %. However Dr. Mark Sholtz from Youtube highly recommend spacer inserted.
