I had salvage RP January 18th, 2024

Started Orgovyx on 4/22/24.
Started Generic Zytiga (Abiraterone acetate) on 4/29/24.
Handling ADT well overall. Hot flashes are annoying at worst. PSA undetectable.

Received 31 sessions of VMAT IMRT to the lymph node basin including 6 sessions of VMAT IMRT boost to the left obturnator lymph node. Completed treatment 7/18/24.

Good luck on your journey! Bob

No, I am having the PET/PSMA scan on the 19th. I just learned I had this cancer last week.
I am already on Finasteride, which I have been on for about 3 years now, which drastically reduces your testosterone (and supposedly regrows hair, but THAT ain't happening) :). That's it. It's all up to the special PET scan on the 19th.
