First of all, Congratulations! But now that you are done, I don’t know why fiber/diet is of any consequence at all…and because of Orgovyx??
I’ve never heard of that either. Perhaps she misunderstood?

Thanks, Phil. the pharmacist and the oncologist said the foods to be avoided, and the herbal drink that I was asked to stop taking, they interact with Orgovyx -- can make the possible side effects worse. So far, I haven't experienced the SEs yet (in my 4th week with Orgovyx). My herbal drink has anti-oxidants -- protecting both the good cells and the cancerous cells. Protecting the cancer cells will make Orgovyx less effective. That's the message I got from what they were saying. I am inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, for now.
