I had Orgovyx prescribed about 8 weeks in advance of SBRT (5 sessions). I have cribriform (3+4). I am 64, gleason 7 with cribriform in 2 tumors, gleason 6 in 4 tumors - surgery vs. radiation werequipoise per my oncologists and 2 second opinions at MSK and Smilow). I remained on Orgovyx for another 8 weeks or so. About 16 weeks in total for Orgovyx. As soon as I started the Orgovyx I was advised to maintain a routine exercise schedule. This helped A Lot! The radiation (barigel spacer in place as well) came with some fatigue that was entirely manageable. All done as of late February with undetectable psa and pretty close to normal in all other areas (still using flomax and some occasional fatigue).

@jonathanack
My brother also had small cribriform With a Gleason 4+3. He had five sessions of SBRT radiation at 77. He’s 80 now and his PSA is just fine.

Do you know whether your cribriform Was large or small? That can make a big difference.

He was on Lupron for six months. Sure, wish she had been on Orgovyx.
