Biochemical recurrence, On / Off treatment with Orgovyx only

Have you been on ADT? Most (including me) thought it was the most difficult part of radiation + short (<6 months) ADT. You would probably have a better quality of life if you did a few radiation treatments to the prostate bed.

@jim18 My treatment plan consisted of 28 external radiations and ADT via Orgovyx for 2 years. I experienced no significant side effects from the radiations, but with Orgovyx, I was ruled out after 17 months due to many dangerous side effects that left me feeling like a physical wreck. I stopped Orgovyx on June 16th of this year and am slowly becoming the man I used to be again. I also hear that many people experience little to no side effects from Orgovyx, so those who are suitable are among the lucky ones, to which I clearly do not belong. Also not unimportant, testosterone seems to have risen well again; I have already had sex and an orgasm, albeit dry, but that is normal since the seminal vesicles were damaged by the radiation. No more ADT for me. My PSA was 14.2 before the treatment and a score of 9, so aggressive.
