Hi, my first question is did you have your prostate removed before it had spread? The reason for doing the Orgovyx before radiation is that it lowers the testosterone that the cancer feeds off of. Also helps kill or weaken the cancer so the radiation will be more effective. I will have 8 more treatments after today. Then continue the Orgovyx for a couple more months. But I was curious about things coming back for you if you had your prostate removed. I look forward to hearing back from you.

I’m just wondering why you take Orgovyx before RT.
My guess is to weaken the cancer cells in the hopes of making the RT more effective.
