My surgeon failed to mention that until about 2 days before the surgery, "Oh, by the way...." LOL, Between the shortening (and I wasn't working with much anyway Haha, TMI?) and the way the orgovyx shrinks the testicles, ooh boy.
Looking forward to that 18-24 mo restoration that @kujhawk1978 mentions....(I know, I know, everyone is different)
Sorry if it sounds glib, just trying to inject a little levity...

When I was on 18-24 months of Lupron in conjunction with six cycles of taxotere and 25 IMRT to the PLNs in 2017-2018. I mentioned the shrinkage to my genitalia to Dr. Kwon as a part of the side affects. He replied, yes, we took you back to your pre-pubescent days...
I thought for a moment, true...but still, bothered me.
I tell my medical team that our children will look back on today's "slash, poison and burn" approach as we do on the leeches from long ago, best they knew at the time but "barbaric!
Still, given my clinical history, glad to be around 9+ years after my urologist said reviewing my TRUS biopsy said "Kevin, that's a pretty aggressive prostate cancer...!"
