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.

@jeffmarc Thanks yet again. I will find out on 8/25 if I need a new urologist if I get pushback. I think I mentioned my sister is the office director for an oncology practice (unfortunately 2500 miles away in NY) and the doctors were kind enough to review all of my tests.
The doctors that handle PC cases recommends Orgovyx for all of their patients for the reasons you mentioned. Lupron is never their first choice.
I hope others working through treatment options see this post. So far none of my doctors even mentioned Orgovyx.
