Taking Orgovyx long term

Understandable, and that's a very personal choice. We all have to balance quality and quantity of life.

I've lost track of your situation, but if your cancer is already metastatic, taking ADT together with one of the -lutamides now is more effective than waiting to add a -lutamide later (per TITAN, etc).

If your cancer becomes castrate-resistant, you still have good treatment options these days, but they can be tougher than just taking ADT and a -lutamide, so the longer you can delay castrate resistance, the better.

Best of luck, whatever you choose.

Gleason 7, N1M0 initial PET eval indicated active Iliac nodes, surgical oncologist disagrees. 5mos .Orgovyx now and completed 44 radiation treatments. Suggesting 24 mos Orgovyx; I suggest 12 mos. Orgovyx and then 6-12 mos. Darolutamide to eliminate castrate resistance. Oncology patients tell me Darolutamide has far fewer side effects; oncology team says adding Darolutamide makes side effects worse. No decision planned until Christmas/1 year at this point
