@csimadera1 I think @toolbelt gave you excellent advice. Orgovyx is the way to go; it does the exact same thing as Lupron but has a much gentler onset - your T gradually drops A LOT in that first month but without the horrible wallop of Lupron.
Also, there is new thinking on the duration of ADT necessary for successful treatment; and you can search discussions on this forum.
Nothing wrong with 6 months of Orgovyx and then monitoring PSA closely. If it starts to rise, simply go back on ADT. Your RO should have no problem with this but remember, many docs use their trusted ‘recipe’ no matter what new research uncovers. So you may have to be a bit more forceful than would seem polite… Best,
Phil
