How fast does Orgovyx work to reduce PSA?

PSA was 6.3 when he recently started Orgovyx. Before surgery in June PSA was 10. Six weeks after surgery PSA was 1.9. Rose to 4.7 at 12 week check. Last week it was 6.3 and he started on the Orgovyx 3 days ago.

This is unfortunate. Before going on Orgovyx was a PSMA PET scan done? You want to do it when the PSA is high (above .7). Orgovyx Can take it down to undetectable and then you can’t see where metathesis are.
It would seem that salvage radiation would be one of the first things they would do, But it may be too late for that as high as the PSA has risen.
Hopefully you do not have just a urologist treating him. It definitely would seem like you should get a second opinion from a center of excellence. Something’s going wrong and you need to have aggressive treatment, But you need to see a group of doctors that can figure out what’s going on.
