Testosterone recovery after 6 mos Orgovyx

Congratulations, from one old guy to another. I'm 73, 4+4 with cribriform and IDC. PSA was 5.9. I'm curious how low did your testosterone drop at the end of 6 months? At 6 weeks on Orgovyx, unfortunately my oncologist is pretty adamant about staying on Orgovyx for 18 months:
Testosterone 909 (not a typo) dropped to 18.73
PSA 5.9 dropped to .82
And my prostate volume has shrunk over 50%, from 38 cc to 18 cc
I start RT either the 19th or the 26th of this month, anxiously waiting the phone call.

@carlsbadguy Looks like you are responding nicely to the Orgovyx. Good results for 6 weeks. How did you know the prostate shrunk, did you have an MRI?
I know with Crib & IDC it puts you in a high risk category but I would look at some studies showing one year of ADT had not much difference than 18 months to 2 years. Did your docs mention anything about having an HDR Brachy boost along with the RT?
@carlsbadguy
don't wait too long for the phone call. You call them.
