One month of Orgovyx completed
Just a quick update for those Brothers on, or considering ADT with, Orgovyx.
Today I started the second month of my 6 month sentence. As of today I have had virtually no side effects. I purposely lost 8 pounds prior to going on it, and today the scale says I am down another pound. Just back from the gym and I am doing the same reps, sets and weights that I was doing prior to Orgovyx..
Finished SBRT 5 last Thursday and other than some minor bowel urgency I have no side effects from that either.
If anyone has questions about Orgovyx or SBRT fire away.
I am 68, one 4+3 and one 3+3 core. PSMA PET shows confined to prostate, Decipher was .84. Grade Group 3, intermediate unfavorable.
Stay Strong Brothers!

Just started yesterday BUT won't tolerate the severe side effects, ie: heart,kidney ,lungs,etc. I will quit immediately and take my chances to live as long as I can. Already booked togo to vacation this October, Italy 🇮🇹, and keeping with my routine of walking n weights to ready for Trip. 1/3 of Radiation done. Looking forward to beating this and staying strong Positive.
Curious to see how/what transpires with this Orgovyx.

1 ReactionOK, best of luck Brother. Any side effects I had were minimal.
Sirheartt: I am not clear on your treatment and schedule, however I hope this helps:
I easily traveled to France for 2 weeks in Oct 2023 following my completion of treatment.
Salvage Treatment following RP; I began a 4 mo course of Orgovyx in Feb 2023, 8 wks of radiation in March. Completed radiation in May and Orgovyx in June.
I returned to normal activities, but had some continuing fatigue; "power" reduction 10 - 20% thru the following few months.
Really began to feel "normal" about 4 mos after treatment.
Best wishes
