Starting Orgovyx - how long for side effects to occur?

I noticed you have intraductal and cribriform. I was researching treatments for those combinations on Monday. Two people came into the ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer online meeting with the same problem. I thought maybe radiation and brachytherapy might work but studies have shown it is not effective with that combination of problems. Actually, there were no studies at all that showed an effective treatment, if both of those issues were found. Hopefully the clinical trial you are in is coming up with some new ideas on treating it.
Good to see the side effects of ADT are getting better for you.

Thank you for the information. I was not aware of the subtleties related to having both cribiform and intraductal. I am curious to learn more. And I am getting ready to make a post about seeking a second opinion on my situatuin and treatment plan. I am in Seattle and go to the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, generally regarded as the best in the Seattle area. However, after seeing many more posts by others and you relating to their ADT treatment plans being multiple years makes me think I may be at some risk. My GU oncologist thinks I should do nine months of ADT, then go on an ADT holiday until the PSA numbers start to rise. While I enjoy being freed from the effects of ADT. I'll take the near term nuisance of ADT to get more years above ground.
Also the clinical trial is only following my second round of ADT with Lupron, Abiaterone and a round of radiation. It does not explore any new treatment options.
