I remember your first post, ava, about wanting to get off the Orgovyx now and not even do a year…..but you gradually warmed up to the idea of doing at least one year.
If you are feeling OK, why not continue for another 6 mos? Your Gleason and Decipher scores certainly merit a longer duration of ADT….just sayin…

Dr Mark Scholz, Prostate cancer specialist told me that I will get 2% more benefit by continuing on the medicine on November 21st. My PSA was 0.05 and he said that is at undetectable level. Based on the recent Intermittent Hormone therapy randomized trials, I will get the same benefit as continuous ADT and I will feel better.
Both oncologists have all my diagnostic results. One says I am a good candidate for Intermittent ADT and the other says I am not!
For now, I decided that 2% benefit is worth it, because I am handling the drug reasonably well.
Perhaps Dr Scholz is giving more weight to my age!
