Orgovyx side effects and handling them

Hello,
I have been on Orgovyx for several years. The side effects, which are predictable, include weight gain, and breast enlargement, with extreme myopathy, in the quadriceps, and hamstrings in both legs. Over a period of time these side effects have increased. At the recommendation of the integrative medicine department I am now on a regimen of magnesium to treat the myopathy with very little scuccess. After approximately 2 years on Orgovyx my PSA number started to rise so my Oncologist added Xtandi as part of my treatment. Next month I will have a new blood work up, and a Pet scan to see where I stand. I am happy to report I have not experienced any hot flashes while taking Orgovyx, or Xtandi.
I wish you all the best on your journey to find something that works well for you.
Best regards,
Philnob

May I ask what stage, PSA, and Gleason Score you were when you started treatment? What treatment (SBRT, IMRT, ,,. ,?) did you have?)
Thanks.
