I think you're in good shape! Nubeqa is to stop the process by which cancer cells become castrate-resistant, which would typically be around 18-20 months of treatment. As cowboys used to say, "You're cutting them off at the pass." Congratulations on a comprehensive treatment plan! How are the side effects? I'm just on Orgovyx, but until I was about 5 weeks past radiation, I was really beaten down most of the time. Some energy is slowly returning.

Why did you stop Nubeqa? I thought Nubeqa and Orgovyx work together to keep things at bay.

For me, the first 8 weeks on Orgovyx caused the worse side effects. Fatigue in the afternoon, low libido and brain fog. Occasional hot flash. These side effects have gotten much less bothersome in my third month of Orgovyx. Better energy (I’m exercising 6x/week), and less brain fog. Low libido still an issue. Maybe I’m getting used to the “new” normal or maybe the exercise is really kicking in. Anyway, I wish you great luck as you navigate these waters.
