End of treatment (I hope)

An update:

Blood work ~3-1/2 months post-radiation therapy and ~4 weeks after finishing up 6 months on Orgovyx came back with a PSA of 0.08 (RO doc says she's pleased with that) and testosterone at 35 (was at 7 in October). My PCP looked at a bunch of other stuff as part of my annual physical - kidneys, lungs, blood sugar are all good. EKG was good. Liver enzymes were a little high, but he didn't seem alarmed - check again in six months. Only other issue is that a "body composition analysis" says I've added about 20 pounds of fat to my body in the past year. Good news is I only lost a pound or two of muscle mass. Diet time!!

Hoping that the T continues to rebound. Still not much interest in sex, but there have been some morning erections lately - so, maybe making some progress.

Sounds like you are on a good path, Gary. That lower belly fat can be quite persistent. I did not gain more than 5 pounds but it’s all right there.
Hope that the increased T and the somewhat less than voracious appetite will help in that respect!
