My doctor said he's fine with letting me switch to Orgovyx so we'll see when my current Lupron shot wears off. The most frustrating thing for me is that I can still get good erections but they don't last very long AND I can't reach orgasm no matter how hard I try. I did have radiation so maybe the nerves for erection and orgasm are permanently fried?

Great news about the switch to Orgovyx. Hopefully that will be a game changer. I’m 3 weeks post 31 sessions of IMRT and things aren’t working as well as they were before surgery and I expect that over time things will improve. Rome was not built in a day and all of us that have gone through surgery and radiation and now are on ADT need to accept that it will take some time to get things working again.
Patience is warranted and prudent here. That can be difficult. Let me share my “prayer for patience” with you. It’s short.
Dear God, please grant me patience and I want it NOW!
Seriously, so much of coping with all this often requires that we change how we look at things. There is an old adage that says “Change the way you look at things and things will change. That’s certainly appropriate here.
Remember, you’re not alone. Those of that that respond to your posts hear you and are here to support you as best we can.

As I mentioned in a previous post, my ability to have a (dry) orgasm returned about a year to 18 months after radiation (I don't remember exactly), even though I'm still on ADT and Erleada. So "hang" in there ... (get it?). 😉
