Eligard - 1 mo. , 3 mo., 6 months: any difference in side effects?

I'm aware of relugolux and I'm interested in it. The Orgovyx indications information says it is for advanced cancer patients. Since I am unfavorable intermediate, I don't know if I would be a candidate. I am having a PSMAPET scan next week and if it reveals any metastasis my classification may be increased. Possibly, I would be a candidate. Either way I'll run it by my RO. Orgovyx claims that 99% of Medicare claims are approved. Thanks for your reply.

I am also unfavorable intermediate with no metastases and my radiation oncologist recommended 4 months of Orgovyx to decrease later recurrence . It was covered under my Medicare pharmacy plan but at a high tier with a significant copay. I was aware that the company has a patient assistance program and have been on it without cost, but you have to jump through their hoops. Here is the website for information: https://www.orgovyxhcp.com/_assets/pdfs/orgovyx-support-program-patient-start-form.pdf

I don't think they'd call my cancer "advanced" they didn't find any metastasis in my PSMA PET scan. I've been on Orgovyx since my PSA hit .09 after RP. Maybe check with the docs if you're interested in it?
