Orgovyx side effects and handling them
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (59)Comment receiving replies
My husband has been on Orgovyx plus Xtandi for over 2 years. No surgery because it has metastasized in bone and lymph node. He has PSA blood draws every 6 weeks, if it's over 2.0 he stays on the meds, if it's under he can take a "vacation", no meds. The side effects never go away. He has hot flashes during the day and night sweats throughout the night. He has a fan set up on his side of the bed which helps some.
He's learned to accept it for what it is - holding his cancer at bay until something better comes along.

I used to have terrible night sweats I used to wake up and have the sheet totally soaked under me.
I have an embrlabs.com wave product (wave 2). I’ve used it for Over three years now. It’s like a refrigerator that looks like a watch and sits on the inside of your wrist. You could set up one of the buttons for their night mode . Hit the button twice and It Produces cold waves at measured times during the night and prevents hot flashes and night sweats. They used to bug me, before I got this device . When you start to feel a hot flash coming on, you hit another one of the buttons twice and it sends cold chills through your arms and it reduces the intensity, shortens the life and can stop the hot flashes if hit quickly enough.

I have just been put on Orgovyx , I was diagnosed in February and not seen an Oncologist yet. Trying to find out what to expect and to find out how well Orgovyx holds back the progression. I am fortunate that my PC is contained in my Prostrate. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
