Very well written!

68 years old
I’ve been on Orgovyx and ARSI(abiraterone/prednisone for one month, then new doctor change me to Nubequa) since mid January.
PSA was 168, and it’s down to .1 as of three weeks ago. Testosterone has been less than 10 for a month and a half or so.
I generally get a couple mild hot flashes during the day and a couple more once in bed.
My energy level isn’t what it used to be and my muscle mass is down. I do have a belly fat that I’ve never had before.
So far, no brain fog to speak of, and my emotions seem pretty stable.

Generally, how many months before folks start to experience these extreme reactions to chemical castration?

Are you now on Orgovyx and Nubeqa? I am on Orgovyx but did not do well with adding abiraterone and prednisone. Were the side effects any better after dropping abiraterone? I likely second another medication in addition to Orgovyx.

Thank you,

Phil
