Adding a second medicine question
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (23)Comment receiving replies
I've had removal+radiation+ADT. I've been on Orgovyx only for 28 months; 24 months post pelvic radiation. My Drs have never mentioned a second combo medicine. I was stage 4a and G9. My PSA has ben < 0.01 since radiation. I've had no major side effects to Orgovyx that I'm aware of. I do have muscle and joint soreness, and overall tiredness. My Drs want me to go off ADT.

After all this time, if your PSA has remained < .01 For over a year, stopping ADT really makes sense.
You can get blood test every month for three months(or longer) to see if the PSA starts rising, Then every three months if still low and eventually every six months.. Close to 70% of people with PC are cured or at least go into long-term remission.
I know a lot of doctors would recommend that, you could get another opinion.
I attend weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings with Ancan.org. We had somebody come in to a meeting recently who had his PSA start to rise 30 years after he had surgery, He was a Gleeson nine also. We actually get a lot of people in who are Gleason nine and their PSA starts to rise after many years off drugs.
