Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope that experience is far better than most and certainly gets the job done. I am unfamiliar with Orgovyx but from your comment, it appears that Orgovyx is Not an ADT. What does it do in place of or as an alternative to Lupron and how long is that regime?
All the best, rlm

Orgovyx Is ADT just like Lupron or Eligard. The difference is it’s a pill not an injection.
Works just the same to reduce your testosterone as close to zero as possible.

Orgovyx is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the body's production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is a hormone that stimulates the production of testosterone. It is a form of androgen deprivation therapy; taken once daily by mouth its side effect profile is similar to Lupron, though it may have fewer cardiovascular risks and is said to be more quickly reversible when discontinued.
