so did they recommmend he stay on Orgovyx/Nubeqa ? so they stopped chemo? I would guess they are trying to let him recover some from the chemo- his PSA is responding well and they can always do some radiation if they detect a PSA rise at some point.

I imagine they will revisit the situation in 6 months- get new PSA at that time and determine if any other treatment is necessary...it sounds like he is doing well and the ADT therapy should guard against any recurrence in the near future.

Sometimes a period of time where you can relax and catch your breath and sleep/recover from all the trauma and stress is very good medicine in itself. ( new edit) I would think the oncologist believes-at this juncture anyway- that chemo is not necessary. the stress to the body of chemo after RPros surgery would be debilitating and since ADT is working, no chemo for now..as Martha Stewart would say " a good thing!"

@xahnegrey40 Yes, he is staying on the Orgovyx + Nubeqa. He hasn’t had any chemo or radiation just the prostatectomy. Because of numerous positive lymph nodes the plan was to have chemo in the next few months but the doc seems to have lost the urgency for chemo. I guess that’s a good sign? The doc did mention he believed the hormones would work for several years and in that time the other systemic treatments would only get better perhaps skipping chemo and going straight to a radioligand which targets the PC cells better. Thank you for your comments I found them comforting.

@xahnegrey40 Thanks for your edit. I find myself a bit less confused and a bit more grateful the hormones are working so well!
