Hey thanks for the info and I will look into it. I do have a 6-month follow up visit with my RO next Friday. He did start me on Lupron at time of radiation sessions, and then I switched to Orgovyx. He wasn't too pleased when I wanted to switch to Orgovyx. He has not been very suggestive in addressing my ADT side effects and only wants to see me every 6 months (a 15 min visit after not seeing me for 6 months - Hmmm). He challenged me as to why I wanted a DEXA scan. Got the DEXA but he didn't know how to interrupt then results. Eventually saw an endocrinologist as my T-scores showed a lot of bone density loss.
I did start seeing a urologic oncologist within the same hospital system who spent 90 mins with me at our first visit. I see him every 3 months (30 min visits) and he has no problem ordering regular PSA and T test. He suggested that I try acupuncture. He seems more open to new things, and I will most likely discuss the Estradiol as an alternative to Orgovyx.
Thanks again
