I start on Sept 29...around 40 sessions..going tomorrow to get rectal spacer...etc.. sounds like might have been fun with a couple of co eds yrs ago.. I assume I will have guys with thick fingers probing ..I just hope they dont leave any orange work cones in there..

I am a bit over two months on orgovyx..could not tolerate erleada ( who picks out those names..???) and will start nubeqa later this week..my PSA dropped from 70 to .05 in 7 weeks...they said that was very good news !

Gleason 8 2 lymph nodes in pelvic area..diagnosed in JUne '25..no real systmes..a bit of fatigue and 3-4 nocturnal piss/night..

Fridge full of vitamins, worked out 3-5 times a week.. never thought I would ever be in cancer club

Hopefully your provider will offer you "sedation" for the procedure to inject the rectal spacer. Mine did and it was wonderful.
After the procedure was over I recall having a conversation with the provider about how nice the sedation was. In fact, I specifically remember asking him whether we could "do it again".
