Started Hormone Therapy Today

Hey Jeff,
Doctor put me on Firmagon for 2 reasons: 1) would drop my PSA the fastest with no flare up. 2) she wanted to start me on ADT as soon as possible and felt that there could be insurance related delays with Orgovyx. She did say I could switch anytime later on.
Radiation will be ERBT for 39 sessions (I think). I’ll know more on Aug 20th.
I live in Rochester, New York and treated at the Wilmot Cancer center at the University of Rochester. Only side effect so far is injection site pain but not too bad. I got two shots, one on each side, and they are both sore.

wow. 39 fractions of radiation is a lot.
