Are you on Medicare? Will Medicare pay for Orgovyx under part B? I will be checking with my RO in a couple of days. Thanks ...

I am not, and I don't have the answer to that. Luckily, my insurance covers it.

I didn't have anything that showed up on the PSMAPET scan so the cancer was very small. Medicare A nd B coverd quite a bit of the cost of the Qrgovix scrip and then went through an application process and qualified for a waiver for the rest of the cost. Just finished two months ago the 6 month $27,000 treatment - 1 pill a day... I was told by my Dr that there are worthwhile reasons to go this route;
Acts quicker
Depresses testosterone to a greater degree
Less possible heart problem probability
Testosterone, more than likely, will come back sooner
