My husband prostrate surgery was in 2003 and 38 rounds of radiation in 2011. We changed our oncologist who did a pet scan and that’s how he found he had cancer in his lymph nodes on the left side of his urethra. As I said he is currently on the 14 day pills, I mentioned the Orgovyx to him he felt there was not a lot of difference in the side effects even though I mentioned that this one has less side effects to the heart? Although reading some of the other comments they mentioned it had more side effects for one’s kidneys and strokes.you are a wealth of information which I appreciate, I will ask him about the estradiol sounds promising I wonder what the difference in being effective is?
My husband is 85 and has had lung cancer but the cancer seems to be contained at the sides of his urethra. He also has MCI early stages I think but never diagnosed I have not mentioned this yet my plan is to tell him his psa level is rising and this will lower it without mentioning the C word. I don’t want him to worry anymore.
Your info was invaluable thanks so much for taking the time to respond

The patch study, which completed in England, a few months ago showed that the estradiol patch works just as well as ADT to suppress testosterone.

Here is a video given by Richard Wassersug, Ph.D, author of Androgen Deprivation Therapy: An Essential Guide for Prostate Cancer Patients and Their Loved Ones that is now in its 3rd Edition. He’s been on estradiol for years.
