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.

Speaking of prayers, I'm pantheist (I believe all religions are seeking the same truth in different ways), but I did pray during the first, long night lying alone in a hospital bed after I learned about my cancer.
I didn't pray to be cured, because I refuse to believe in a supreme being or force or spirit (or whatever) so petty and cruel that it wouldn't just go ahead and cure people on its own if possible.
Instead, I prayed with an invitation: "Whatever happens, please stay with me through it; don't let me be alone." Whether it's coming from inside or outside me, I haven't felt desperately alone since, so I guess it was an ok prayer. 🤷♂️
