Starting Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer: Any experiences?

How are you now, @gankster ? I had SBRT photon + Orgovyx April 9-21 this year, and my experience isn't bad compared to yours (proton only treatment). But "still under observation" -- someone else started experiencing hot flashes after two months on Orgovyx, so I am on "wait & see." I am wondering if "proton only" (no ADT) absolutely worked for you. My oncologist we'll see if I can stop Orgovyx after 8 or 12 months; I prefer sooner, maybe 6?

Thanks for asking, @vircet. Coming up on my 4 year mark since completing my Proton only treatment and I'm still doing/feeling great (no complications or side effects). My last PSA was 0.4 (new nadir) so I have to say that Proton-only absolutely worked in my situation.
