Jeffmac,
I started computer programming as a student at University of Michigan in 1961. Later, I wrote operating systems software and compilers for Burrows machines. Finally retired as a Data center manager at County of Los Angeles in 2005.
Dr. Schulz suggested that I should take a holiday now from Orgovyx. But, my computer mind tells me that I should continue until my PSA reaches a plateau or at least 12 months whichever comes first. just finished 9 months.
My reasoning is if PSA dropping means treatment is working, so why stop the medicine. My quality of life with hormone therapy is not great but certainly acceptable that I can live with it rest of my life if I have to!
My PSA on October 7th was 0.05. I am hoping it will keep dropping some more in the next 3 months.
