Intermittent Hormone Therapy (IHT): How is it working for you?

I was on Orgovyx for two years post surgery and SRT. While on it, the PSA went down to < .006 and Testosterone went to the single digits.
Now off of it for 6 mos, PSA still < .006 and T is up around 90.
Feel much better already being off the Orgovyx and can already feel the rising T in energy levels, gym, etc.. We'll see where it goes from here. My guess, I'll be back on it sometime down the road....

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m also on ORGOVYX and have another 10-1/2 months to go. The last time we checked, which was two months ago, my testosterone was still at 38 and my PSA was undetectable. I’m also on ZYTIGA. I had a one week vacation because the side effects from ZYTIGA were so bad and in only five days, I felt 300% better. I know I need ADT to keep cancer at bay, but man, I’m looking forward to getting off of it.

Ah, a fellow pessimist!!😆. But I think you have every reason to be optimistic in your case. That 2 yr period of ADT most likely doused
any sparks of PCa that would have come back.
I know @ava11 has discussed his duration of ADT - as to how long it has to be in his particular case - and I think your post gives him a better idea as to the merits of a longer time frame.
Again, just my opinion since I do not know your Gleason or Decipher scores. Great post.
