My father died shortly after starting treatment with Orgovyx

Very sorry for your loss. If you are up to it, (or if anyone knows where exactly to find this) can you please point me to the article that showed “3% chance of cancer recurrence with orgovyx vs 6% without”? I searched online but I can’t find it. Husband post prostatectomy. Oncologist prescribed 12 months orgovyx starting just before the radiation. Year of treatment now nearly completed with significant negative impact on quality of life (the word profound seems to fit) with this medicine. Urologist disagrees with oncologist (saying need another year of treatment).

I think that the 3% vs 6% was the cardiovascular risk profile difference between Orgovyx and Eligard/Lupron.
Best wishes for successful tx.
This was something that my dad was told by his doctor. May have been specific to his situation. Not sure to honest. Best of luck to you .

Clarification too post: radiation & orgovyx for biochemical recurrence (prostate bed).
