Question on 5 proton treatments with ADT

@robertov, maybe not a placebo effect. AI says Orgovyx has a 25-hour half-life.

But after 14 months there's likely some build-up that needs to clear. So maybe a little placebo effect. 🙂

My experience:
After a year on Orgovyx, I started feeling better just days after stopping. Noticeably better after a week; with continuing daily improvement, I felt great after 2 weeks.

Testosterone after 2 months showed almost full recovery. A year's worth of subsequent testing showed consistent 90-95% testosterone recovery (~400).

For context, I was 72 years old at that time. Gleason 9, stage 2, confined to prostate, treated with HDR Brachytherapy + 5 sessions SBRT at UCLA.

Of course you may respond differently.

And in case you want some general info:
