Psmick,
I am 89 and in couple of months I will be 90! I assume you are 90 now? How is your health now?
After SBRT radiation I was on Orgovyx for 12 months. It has been 3 1/2 months since I stopped Orgovyx.
I just got my Testosterone result yesterday. It was only 65. Waiting for Ultra sensitive PSA. It was 0.02 before I stopped the treatment.
How is your Testosterone recovery after you stopped the treatment. I was told the older we are the less chance to get any T recovery!

Hello, and thanks for your message.
I turned 91 in February and had stopped taking Lupon D injections in August, 2024. They were given every 3 months and I took 4 of them.
My PSA was .01 when I stopped and it has since gone up to 1.6 and 2.5 this month. Testosterone level was 10, and it has gone up to 119 and now 220.
I will be seeing my urologist on July 30, and it remains to be seen what he will suggest considering my age. He told me nothing about the value of exercise or how to deal with shrinkage when I first started treatment. Joining this group as well as a local support group has been a Godsend.
It has been a slow recovery from the ADT, as although the hot flashes stopped quickly and libido has returned, I am still lacking in energy, and experience cramping and soreness in both legs. Nevertheless, I keep going and hoping for the best. I wish likewise for you!
