Testosterone recovery after ADT

How long it will take depends on how long you were on Orgovyx and how old you are.

I was talking to my oncologist Monday about stopping Orgovyx. In the past, she has been concerned about my testosterone rising, but I have been on Lupron for seven years and Orgovyx for seven months. She commented about the fact that it usually takes as long to have testosterone come back as you’ve been on the drugs. Since I’ve been on them so long, she said go ahead and stop Orgovyx, I then requested she have a testosterone test done every month just like my PSA test, order is in.

So depending on age, your testosterone could come back quickly since you’ve only been on Orgovyx, but it depends on age and how long you’ve been on it. One thing is for sure, you recover more quickly when on Orgovyx only. There’s just no way to tell you how soon that will be.

Thanks. I wish I had been told that BEFORE I consented to this treatment or I would never have agreed. I really can't stand it anymore.
