@clevelandguy That's where my thinking is headed unless Gleason 4+5 is better treated with Lupron. I'm bummed out the urologist wants to do the Lupron so I have to wait to see him on 8/25 to discuss Orgovyx. I'm fairly certain this will require a debate. I don't see how I can do Lupron for 2 years and ever recover at my age.

I hope he will understand, it’s your body and he should have some compassion for that.

There is really no difference between Lupron and Orgovyx And how effective they are in dropping the testosterone. One benefit is you don’t need to take Casodex for two weeks before starting Laura. If your doctor doesn’t do that, you need to find a new doctor.

Lupron has A problem Where it builds up arterial sclerosis in the heart arteries. In the first year, it does this. Orgovyx Does not do this.

When you stop orgovyx Your testosterone comes back much quicker than if you are on Lupron.

Just some things to talk with your doctor about.
