Switching from Lupron to Orgovyx.

That below 20 issue is exactly what I contacted my oncologist about. My testosterone has slowly Creeped up to 25 from below five. It’s a pretty fast doubling rate for 8 months. You would think that after seven years of Lupron, it would not start rising so quickly. I did take Orgovyx the last eight months, but that’s still a pretty quick rise.
The thing is, even though I stopped it the hot flashes are as annoying as ever.
Are you on bone strengtheners now? If you are on ADT is it highly recommended that you take bone Strengtheners like Fosamax, Zometa or Xgeva. Was in a webinar a few months ago, where a doctor who specializes in bone conditions was really emphatic about the need to do this.

Also not on any bone strengtheners. Just now getting into the ADT regimen and not sure if it will continue or let the Lupron die off to see where my T and PSA are at that point. I'm now just saying no to Lupron and yes to an oral medication if I need to go back on an ADT. Getting advice soon from an oncologist.
But, as mentioned, I'd like to have a bone density check first, for a baseline.

No, I'm not on bone meds. At this time my doctor considers me a short timer on ADT until we find out otherwise. This is my first round.`I also weight train and mountain bike which helps bang the bones for bone strength. I'll probably get there eventually.
