I had Gleason 8 on 2 of 12 biopsy samples characterized high risk, 1 Gleason 7, 1 Gleason 6, and 2 pelvic lymph nodes positive on PSMA PET scan. Am characterized as T1N1M0. I have been on Orgovyx since March 30th and briefly had abiraterone, my psa dropped from 30 on March 25th to .46 on June 5th. Will get radiation starting mid July.

You are a Gleason 8. The doctors do not really consider the other lower numbers.

The reason they want the second drug is that your PSA should have been able to be dropped to below .2 by now. So the second drug can push it a little further down. As I mentioned, ask your Doctor about Darolutamide. I can lower your PSA even further and has very few side effects. I’ve been using it a long time and I know a lot of other people using it. If you can’t handle abiraterone Then that is a great second choice.
