bens1 - thank you for your insights. I couldn't agree more on the secondary discussions about mental health or quality of life. I am very active and would suffer depression if I couldn't bike / hike etc. the side effects that u discuss re your brother is exactly what i am trying to avoid and hence my consideration of orgovyx

Age 73 completed 4 mos of Orgovyx with radiation as post op salvage treatment.
Side effects real, but manageable for me.
I have continued my almost daily walking and 2/3 weekly sessions of light upper body weight lifting. It takes some effort to "push thru" the feeling of fatigue; however many men are able to continue serious exercise.
Focus on what is important to you.
Note: One benefit of Orgovyx is that you can stop it if side effects are not manageable; as opposed to a multi month injection.
Best wishes on your choices and for a good result.
