I've not had significant brain fog issues in 6 months on Orgovyx. I am having hot flashes, lowered libido, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, and a lot of fatigue. My best antidote to fatigue is exercise. My PET scan showed both prostate and lymph node involvement so I'm scheduled to be on Orgovyx for 24 months. I'm hoping to convince my oncologist to switch from Orgovyx to Nubeqa at 12 months to lessen side effects and prevent Castrate resistant Cancer. All the best!

You could ask the doctor to switch from ADT to estradiol patches (or jel). The patch study showed it’s just as effective as ADT, but has many fewer side effects with fewer hot flashes, and it does not affect your libido nearly as much. That would be a lot safer.
You could almost definitely safely stay on Orgovyx for two years without worrying about castrate resistance. A little unusual for it to happen that quick.
