thanks for your reply...yes I have missed 3 days in this first month..acclimating to Orgovyx...tomorrow is 30 days and I have 3 left...so not too bad...I think this very hot weather has exacerbated my side effects..the drugs seem to require ALOT of hydration !!

so I am scheduled for about 40 rounds of EBRT starting late Sept..

this is all pretty scary..for an older guy..all my life my PSa was around 1 or so..until May of this yr..it jumped to 40..it was .9 in Nov '23 I think..

I hope I am not doomed..but actually dont feel bad unless I dont drink enough water.. the sleep is problamatic at times..I hope that gets better.

Have you gotten a second opinion? After I was gifted with PC, at the suggestion of some people here I went for a second opinion at both Mayo and MD Anderson. I'm currently going to Sloan Kettering and after the second opinions, all of them gave me the same course of action in attacking this.
Having those opinions really put me to rest for all questions I had. Medicare didn't have an issue with those at all.
I told my doctors that I did that and they were glad I did, so don't be afraid to ask other professionals about your condition.
Best of luck, as we all need that!! I'm still waiting for that magic pill that will take all this away!
