How fast does Orgovyx work to reduce PSA?

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.

He had PSMA before surgery and two lymph nodes lit up so we knew about those and the surgeon removed those and also found another cancerous node in the bilateral dissection. We finally got the insurance company to cover a new PSMA PET and that is scheduled to happen in a little over a week. In the meanwhile he just began the Orgovyx. Also has been referred to a radiologist. We are under the care of UCLA Urology Oncology and they are great. Oncologist said start the Orgovyx now to stop any activity and we’ll get a more specific treatment plan after the PSMA PET. He referred to radiology to get things going. I’m sick with worry.

Also thank you for your response.
