I am a fellow prostate cancer patient not a doctor so I’m not giving medical advice just sharing Some thoughts based on my personal experience.

I have been on ORGOVYX since April 22. My doctor originally wanted to give me a six month LUPRON shot, but I had ran it read anecdotal stories of fellow prostate cancer patients who opted for ORGOVYX daily pills instead of the LUPRON shot. What I read was that while both achieve the same thing, That is killing testosterone, side effects tended to be milder for patients taking ORGOVYX instead of LUPRON. That has been my personal experience too, and I’m glad I made that choice. When I compare my experience to close personal friends that have also gone through prostate cancer I’ve had it considerably easier, which is why recommend that fellow PCa patients consider OGOVYX.

Yes, I have hot flashes, but they tend to be mild and their frequency and severity dropped off a lot after the first 30 days. Yes, I’ve put on a little weight; went from 186 to 192. Yes, I have fatigue but staying active mitigates a lot of that. I do upper body resistance training every other day and alternate between high intensity cycling, or brisk walks of at least 1 mile on hilly terrain daily. When cold weather comes back, I’ll switch to the elliptical, a treadmill, or a spin bike.

We are here to listen and help you. What comes next after the start of ADT?
