Hello. I am wondering if you began the 2nd time on Orgovyx? I did the same thing as you, took it 18 months, but PSA is up. Was wondering if Orgovyx works on a 2nd go round. Dr doesn't seem to know. Thanks for any info, and best of luck with your journey.

Hi... sure.. on the 2nd' go-round (after about 3-4 months off) the PSA dropped from 4 down to 1. Then I stopped for 4 or 5 months for this whole summer. PSA two weeks ago was back to 7 so I plan to restart Orgovyx.. probably not for another two weeks. The MO encourages it right now; but I'm getting a follow-up PET with PSMA later this month which ideally the MO would prefer to ascertain where things stand (is it still localized is the question) .. preferably before I restart the Orgo., which might suppress 'T' fast and mask the results of the PET. So probably a couple more weeks, even though I understand that the cancer can be growing while I delay (couldn't book the CT machine soon enough; hence delay). I'll be glad to update after. Good luck to you and keep us informed if you do anything similar.
