Similar treatment and results for me but side effects have been horrible. At age 83, and one year since stopping 4 months of Lupron the side effects are about 50% of their peak but still very painful with severe headaches plus joint and bone pain 24/7. Testosterone at 115 and PSA < 0.03. I wonder if the pain will ever stop.

@pesquallie Sorry for the ongoing issues! My side effects from Orgovyx became a little more livable after being on the drug for a year, but should subside about three months after I complete the series late June. I've not had headaches but I have lots of arthritis regardless treatment and can only take Tylenol due to being on the blood thinner Eliquis. I hope your symptoms resolve soon! The fact that your Testosterone is coming up gives me hope. On Orgovyx, mine is < 10.
