Deciding on treatment

I have been going over this in my mind for and after getting my PET scan which showed the cancer is limited to my prostate which is very large but at the same time my cancer is aggressive as indicated by my Gleason score of 8 (4+4) and my decipher score of .84 I have decided that hormone therapy is worth a try. I am taking the ORGOVYX Pills so my Doctor said I could stop them if I can’t tolerate the side effects. He wants me to try and take them for six months but with a goal of two years if possible. I have only been on them for three days so no side effects yet and I am doing daily workouts with hopes of countering the side effects. This is really a personal decision that everyone has to make but for me when I saw my granddaughter breakdown because I had not yet made up my mind that pushed me to give it a try.

This must be such a difficult decision to make. Good luck and may God bless you.
