You and I have connected on a few threats in this forum, and I’m always grateful for your comments. Like you, I am on Orgovyx and also Zytiga. My oncologist and my surgeon strongly recommended my being as active as possible, with exercise, resistance training, and diet management as the best tools to minimize side effects. So far it’s worked for me. I’ve learned to eat less and be satisfied most of the time by using the NOOM app. I gained 6 pounds initially and it took eight weeks to lose it. I purchased a used bowflex through Facebook marketplace and some inexpensive hand weights from Amazon. Northwestern Medicine has some amazing free resources available for cancer patients was a consultation with a personal trainer to develop a reasonable and sustainable plan for activity and exercise. It’s been quite helpful. I’ve noticed that when I’m more active, I have less hot flashes and the ones I have are barely noticeable.

Good luck to you on your journey!

My exercise isn't what I would like. I have claudication in my legs and it limits my walking, etc. I'll be 76 in August. The biggest annoyance for me is the hot flashes. And living in Arizona, I've noticed as the temperatures have increased towards Summer; the hot flashes are more troubling. Unfortunately, you limit your activity outside when it's 110 degrees. I have an Oncologist appointment/PSA test on July 9th.
