Based on a study of 10,415 prostate cancer patients (intermediate to high-risk) I'm guessing your chances of surviving your PCa for at least 10 years are very-good-to-excellent!

Of course, a lot depends on how YOU respond to treatment.

For starters, hopefully at some point your PSA will drop to virtually undetectable (below 0.01 ng/ml) while taking Orgovyx.

And 6 months AFTER completing treatment...

"The 10-year prostate cancer-specific mortality rates for patients with a PSA nadir of 0.1 ng/mL or higher were 14%, 15%, and 14% for the patients who received RT alone, RT plus short-term ADT, and RT plus long-term ADT, respectively. The rates for patients with a PSA nadir less than 0.1 ng/mL were 8%, 7%, and 7%, respectively."
