You want a bone density scan (DEXA). You should’ve had it before going on Orgovyx, but it is a good idea to have it now to see what’s going on with your bone density. ADT can really deteriorate the bones so you want to make sure your bones are in good shape and you don’t need bone strengthening drugs.

If for some reason, your PSA starts rising and you need to go back on ADT it’s good to know where you stand.

We usually recommend people get that scan before starting ADT.

@jeffmarc Hi Jeff,
I wish you were my doctor.
42 x radiotherapy and 2 years ADT. But no discussion or offer of a bone scan. I'm obviously living in the wrong place😉
