Have been on Orgovyx for 3 months which has been keeping my testosterone below 10 and psa was at .37 on 6/23, down from 31 before starting Orgovyx. I am T1cN1M0, Gleason 8, am relatively low volume, but have some high risk cell patterns. I have 2 pelvic nodes positive, second one was barely visible, am still considered localized. Will start 28 visits of radiation this week. I may need to also go on a second medicine in the form of Yonsa (micronized abiraterone) or Xtandi or Nubeqa. I had a bad reaction to abiraterone. If I don’t tolerate Yonsa am not sure about adding a receptor blocker this early in the process.
Thank you,
Phil

Abiraterone definitely isn’t the friend of the person using it. Causes a lot of side effects. I was on it for 2 1/2 years and the only advantage I can think is that it gave me 2 1/2 more years before I moved on to Nubeqa.
If Yonsa works for you That would be good to know. Please come back and tell us what happened after your trying it out.
If you’re going to have to pick a second drug to replace abiraterone the best one is Nubeqa. All of the lutamides essentially have the same results, nubeqa has the least amount of side effects of any of them. I’ve been on it almost 2 years and I’ve been undetectable for 19 months, When I took abiraterone I was only undetectable one month out of 2 1/2 years.
