Replies to "Chippy , what was your margins like ? How is ADT for you ...never been on..."
I have one bad margin and don't know the details other than more than likely the cause of my PSA rising. My surgeon denies it but two other doctors pointed to it. I started with Lupron for 3 months and it isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. One low grade hot flash and a couple of times feeling prickly. Perhaps due to having low T going into this. I don't really know but grateful. I feel knocked down with low desire to do anything but force myself up to work around the house and go for 8-13 mile mountain bike rides in our local state forest. I always feel better once I get into the ride and the feeling lasts a few hours. All info points to getting exercise while on ADT and I must agree. I've put on 7 pounds around the gut which is kind of normal. Switched to Orgovyx after 3 months and the first 10 days were tough as I had both Lupron and Orgovxy in my system but leveling out now. My T is 2 and PSA is undetectable so it is doing its thing. Radiation was much worse from my experience. The side effects are the gift that keeps on giving 2 months afterwards.
Best wishes on your journey.
