Can I Manage Testosterone w/ ORGOVYX and Skip Radiation?

Thanking everyone for your participation and input in this discussion.
I don't think I've got a lot figured out as yet but I did decide to begin the ORGOVYX today.
I will be taking the medication for 1 month and then be reassessed.
That gives me a month to decide what's next, radiation or something else.
I had insisted on having one more PSA test before beginning ORGOVYX; the results came back earlier today and not good.
The total increased from 10 to 15.9 while the free is low at 2.1.
To be honest - I am not feeling confident in any of this. I'm thinking that Prostate Cancer will be my ending. Maybe 2 years?

Everyone's journey is different, Paul, but my PSA was 67 at first diagnosis and had already metastasized to my spine (stage 4b).

After spinal surgery, two rounds of SBRT radiation (spine and prostate), and nearly 3 years on ADT and Erleada, I'M STILL HERE! (Sorry for shouting 😉). There's been no progression, and my PSA remains undetectable (< 0.01).

It's normal to feel discouraged, but don't write yourself off quite yet. Modern PC treatments are pretty impressive, and you've barely scratched the surface so far.
