@seasuite I don't know if this exactly addresses your concern since I'm on a year+ vacation from Lupron rather than Orgovyx, but after maybe(?) 5 or 6 months off the Lupron, my left nipple became painful when bumped against anything or even rubbed against clothing. Recently, I noticed that problem has disappeared, but has surfaced less commonly regarding the right nipple. I *was* wondering about breast cancer, but at the moment I'm thinking it's not something to worry about. I will certainly ask my oncologist his thoughts when I'm back there, though.

@joecontheroad It's just one of the things that we have to rule out along the way surviving PCa and the litany of treatments side effects. I've had a rotten time with Orgovyx, compared with most others on this site. After only four months of taking it, that completed over two years ago, I still have a number of side effects, including hot flashes. I've seen many Drs. and my next on tap to see is an Endocrinologist as the Urologists have given up on me. Given the amount of breast cancer in my family, I needed a mammogram.
