Thank you for wishing the best for those of us in this same journey as your husband. I also we ish you both the best possible outcome.
I myself has gone through SBRT from April 9 to 21. Been on ADT (Orgovyx) since March 26. My side effect symptoms have been mild so far, but I'm particularly watchful of this coming week in which my oncologist indicated my SEs might peak. I'm hopeful, but I'm also prepared whatever the "peak" is or will be. These things will pass.

Hi vircet, my husband was initially (5/6 weeks) fine on the hormone injection (can't remember which one but it was a 3 month dose). From theron the SE came in rapidly and by 8 weeks he was in constant pain throughout his entire body (he had all the SE's) I'm not sure if that is the 'peak' and obviously it varies hugely from person to person, some are lucky amd have minimal SE. Hopefully you will be one of the luckier ones who only get the minimal SE.

There are many different AD's and sometimes it will be a case of trialing out different options before hopefully finding the one that fits you best. Its taken him 8 months to feel the SE's have now gone, the flip side being obviously his PSA is rising rapidly again, but he wants to enjoy being able to play with his grandson again for a while before trying another one.

Good luck with your next appointment and treatment.
