The doc says have to have ADT, the 6 month shot, in order to lay the groundwork for the radiation. He said salvage radiation is much more effective with the ADT

My only suggestion is to think long and hard about the 6 month injection vs monthly Orgovyx pill.
My review of others' posts suggest that the 6 mo shot, and Lupron itself, can be difficult. Although Orgovyx has its detractors also.
The 6 mo injection is probably the most cost effective way to go, and "easiest" since you do not have to daily dose the Orgovyx. However, there are some advantages to Orgovyx (no initial Testosterone flare, slightly better cardiac risk profile, 3% vs 6%, and possibly better Testosterone recovery following treatment).
All in all, however, it sounds as if you are on a good course.
Best always.
