Yup, that fear and anxiety NEVER goes away even if it’s ZERO.
I was on pins and needles for 5 yrs watching my PSA slowly creep upwards. Now that I have been put on Orgovyx and am scheduled for 25 radiation sessions I actually feel better!
To fiddle while Rome is burning is the worst for me. Of course, what if the PSA starts to climb again after all this??! My wife begs me to stop projecting but it sure ain’t easy…
Best of luck - the trend IS your friend!

Thanks for the help . Those 25 External Beam Radiation ( EBRT) you have scheduled will work ! I found with my 22 sessions it did indeed work , as I am at 0.056 now from 0.14 ( next PSa test is in 2.5 weeks) ....but remember the radiation will knock it down almost immediately , but the lasting effects of radiation it seems to take at least 6-9 months . thats when it seems to kill off the most cells . So , radiation of Pelvic area bed is very good , it just takes time . Let me know how your are doing when you take it . Im interested and hopeful for you . The radiation itself is easy ... you get a little bit of a jury bladder and bowel though - so bring Imodium with you and , get lots of walking and exercise in on the days you have radiation. Seems to help with fatigue and effectiveness ! God Bless Sir ! James on Vancouver Island
