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.

What I’ve read suggests castrate resistance at 18-20 months . Not so?
