It was prescribed about 2-4 weeks after if i recall. Had a little difficulty getting it filled (ins approved pharmacy) but have been faithfully on it ever since.
My oncologist is VERY happy with the results.
Yes, long term.

Thanks a lot! Makes sense. I asked the Urologist, and he suggested to wait to get first psa test 4-6 weeks after orchiectomy, and then decide if any additional meds is required. Btw, what antiandrogen was prescribed? did YOU decide to go with antiandrogen? If yes, pls share the reason.

Thanks once again!
