What if this prevents cancer from becoming resistant?

Hello from someone on the same drugs and dosage as you are. Not to far back I posted on stopping/reducing Orgovyx and continuing with Nubeqa alone. My reasoning was: Orgovyx stops the body from producing T while the Nubeqa stops the cancer cell from using the T. Why take Orgovyx if the Nubeqa stops T from being used?
I realize that is simplistic, there are other permutaions that can take place as the pieces of the puzzle are moved around, its just that I would like to have T and have the cancer not use it...lol.
I am currently T<1, PSA 0.28...five months into ADT, going for new numbers tomorrow. Not changing anything for a few months. Let me ask: how long you have been on the ADT and ARPI? your PSA seems great....And if I am not mistaken, the Nubeqa may reduce the time to castrate resistance? I respect your adjusting dosage as you see fit, I might be doing the same, just with the Orgovyx not the Nubeqa. As always, opinions and comments welcome, thanks for reading this post, I will be reading yours!

A number of people over at ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer weekly meetings, have stopped ADT and are only on Nubeqa. It works quite well for all of them. Not saying it’ll work forever, but that’s what we live with. You eventually get resistance. You could attend one of the weekly meetings and see what people have to say.
One guy who was in a bimonthly CSC group, I was attending switched to Nubeqa After I recommended it during one of groove, meetings. He moved to South Africa so he is no longer able to attend the meetings, but he sent me a private message on the Healthunlocked forum saying he switched to Nubeqa alone, he’s 80, And his PSA’s been staying Undetectable for quite a many months. He’s real pleased with his results.
It might’ve worked for you. I do know that in my case, my oncologist does not want me to stop Orgovyx Because I have BRCA2 and my cancer could come back sooner,even though I am on Nubeq. I did stop Orgovyx For eight months and my PSA stayed undetectable with just Nubeqa, But my testosterone rose too quickly, and my doctor wanted to be back on it.
Just some experiences, other people have had with Nubeqa.
