Firmagon is a great thing to start with, But after the first month, you can move to one of the other ADT drugs, and they are much easier to deal with than Firmagon. So many people have reported pain from having those firmagon shots in their stomach and having to go once a month is ridiculous. I used to get six month Lupron shots and only had to come back twice a year. I am now on Orgovyx, which is preferable since it’s a pill you take once a day, And when you stop taking it your testosterone comes back quicker.

You need to be on ADT for three years, not Firmagon for 3 years. All of these drugs are ADT Orgovyx, Firmagon, Lupron, Eligard, Prostap, Camcevi, Lucrin, Zoladex, Trelstar, Pamorelin, and Decapeptyl. They all do the same thing which is reduce your testosterone quite low.

Zytiga can cause some serious fatigue problems. If you have them, come back, we can give you some solutions. I was on it 2 1/2 years and it kept my PSA low (not undetectable).

What kind of radiation are you going to have and how many sessions do they say you need?

Are you in Canada?
