I became extremely anemic after 7 months on ORGOVYX and 44 radiation treatments. I was pale very weak, exhausted for no reason and struggling to walk. Oncologist looked at me and said “you look awful”, yep and that’s how I feel. He said I needed a blood transfusion. I said no way! But then he guaranteed me I would feel better within one day. Well he was 100% correct. It was like magic. My wife said I came back from the dead. That blood transfusion was just about 8 months ago and I’m monitored closely and so far have not need another. Been on ORGOVYX for 15 months now and numbers have been good (PSA & Testosterone) but I’m weak and struggle to walk any distance. Original schedule was 18 months of ORGOVYX, hope that’s still the plan. All the best to you, God Bless. Ken

@kenporter I finish 18 months of Orgovyx June 18. I get out of breath and tired walking short distances, but I keep exercising daily. From the date of your post, it looks like you're finishing now as well. All the best!
