Starting Orgovyx - how long for side effects to occur?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (17)Comment receiving replies
I had my prostate removed almost three years ago. PSA began rising after about two years. I have been on Orgovyx since April 2024, with very few side effects other than my golf drives don't go as far. My oncologist is recommending I take a break from the drug while on a cruise and then a golf trip to Scotland restarting it again in about 6 months. He is "almost" certain my PSA numbers will again begin to rise again from < .01 after I stop taking Orgovyx. He is such a pessimist, but I know he is probably correct.
Thoughts???

You don’t mention salvage radiation as part of your treatment. Any reason you did not have it?

You must be one strong human being, having your prostate removed 3 years ago, very few side effects from Orgovyx, and mastering that dastardly game of golf! A PSA reading of less than .01 is virtually undetectable for the presence of PSA. I would probably take a break from Orgovyx and have another PSA blood test within 6 months. I've been quite adept during my life playing baseball, basketball, football, tennis, and racquetball. Golf was harder than Stochastic Mathematics or Topology college mathematics classes.
