Did the PSMA PET scan pre-prostatectomy detect any cancer?

How long were you on Orgovyx (for your Gleason 9)?
Besides ADT (Orgovyx) have they recommended you go on an ARPI (Zytiga, Xtandi, Erleada, or Nubeqa)?
What are they doing to kill the prostate cancer?

@brianjarvis Not all the drugs you mentioned work the same way. In the case of Nubeqa, it acts in concert with Orgovyx . Nubeqa is an androgen receptor inhibitor that works by blocking any remaining male hormones, including the small amounts of testosterone still present in the body from binding to the prostate cancer cells.
Question: Are any doctors recommending drug holidays after 6-12 months when the PSA level goes to near zero? Mine insists I remain on Orgovyx + Nubeqa for two years.

PMSA was done 2 years after prostate removal. No signs of cancer. I was on Orgovyx for about one year after PSA climbed to .9. Orgovyx drove it down to < .01. They don’t have any drug to kill the cancer. I can’t have radiation. So only remedy at this point is suppress disease.
