I am getting ready to start ADT with Orgovyx and have been reading all about the possible side effects. I am with you and wondering what your quality of life is on ADT. I have not read anything that directly address what your quality of life is. Are you house bound, having to ware pads to prevent soiling yourself or what ever else you can think of. I would really like someone that has experienced this to directly address how much your life has changed and do you still consider that you have a quality of life.

I’ve been on ADT for 8 years. Yes, the hot flashes are annoying and the brain fog as well, but I’m able to live a pretty normal life.
To offset the fatigue, the muscle deterioration and the bone deterioration I walk about a mile twice a day, Morning and Afternoon. I also go to the gym three days a week and exercise with weights. Sort of essential to keep your muscle tone And bones from deteriorated.
A lot of people end up staying on ADT for life because the type of prostate cancer they have requires it, But I am still alive 15 years later even though I have to stay on it.
You would never know I was on ADT if you saw how I lived. It doesn’t limit me in any way.
