Salvage Radiation Therapy with or without ADT added?

Hi,
You could try one of the newer ADT drugs in pill form rather than going with an older drug like Lupron. The ADT drugs before and after radiation weaken the cancer so the radiation is more effective. Orgovyx is a daily pill so if reactions due become to severe you can stop where Lupron is a shot lasting many months.

@clevelandguy
Thank you for your response. I have read about the Orgovyx pill being not as aggressive as the Lupron shots and that recovery is faster bit apparently this pill is not available in my region, from what I have researched. I will be confirming this with my Oncologist on my next appointment when we define my treatment plan.
