Would like to pause Lupron injections. Taking Nubeqa and Lupron.

I speak with little real scientific basis,but my oncologist has paused my injections for several months at a time in the past and then resumed them again. It allowed some return to testosterone normalcy. I'm 72 and have had low testosterone "naturally" to begin with of 150 to 290 for over 15 years. Diagnosed with PC in 2010. I have not metastesized as far as Pylarify scans have indicated. I'm not confident of the hospital's scanning department's ability to read and report on these scans,yet. I'm interested in learning much more about my situation. Particularly the Rubeqa and Orgovyx seem like possible options.

Nubeqa and Orgovyx work quite well to get PSA down.
I am on both and have been for about three years. I’ve been undetectable for the last 29 months. I had surgery 16 years ago and radiation 3 1/2 years later. I’ve had four reoccurrences and even though I have BRCA2 those two drugs keep my PSA Undetectable.
While Orgovyx Side effects are a little bit easier. It still takes your testosterone down to Below five, which may cause you problems if it has in the past. Nubeqa Alone works quite well for a lot of people I know, as I mentioned, Keeps the PSA undetectable and allows your testosterone to come back since it prevents the testosterone from allowing the prostate cancer to grow.
Are you having a problem with your PSA rising if you are not on ADT? If you’ve managed to keep your PSA undetectable for a while, you might try dropping all drugs.
