Last PSA Number Before Cancer Diagnosis?

My radiation treatments were 5 days/week for about 8 weeks...and a lengthy commute. The commute was the worst part of the radiation, which is saying a good thing about the treatment. I would lie on the table for about 10 minutes and watch the devices orbit around me, get up and leave.
My quality of life is pretty good. The main side effect I've experienced is getting tired very easily, which could be from the Orgovyx (my Testosterone is still pretty low), or maybe just my age (80). I'm considering a Testosterone supplement but haven't decided.

If you are on Orgovyx , it is reducing your testosterone close to zero. That causes fatigue for a lot of people, I know some that have had to stop it because their fatigue was so intense. That is quite unusual.
Adding testosterone is like feeding a gorilla. You have to be very careful, The whole reason you are on Orgovyx Is to reduce your testosterone so that the cancer does not grow and spread where it already is, and to other parts of your body. If you get off Orgovyx Then testosterone injections can increase your testosterone and reduce some of that fatigue. If you’ve been undetectable for quite a while, that can make sense. Speak to your doctor about this, Adding testosterone is not normally advisable for somebody with prostate cancer, Unless they have had a good time of undetectable PSA’s or trying to use BAT to Get ARSI drugs to start working again.
