SBRT vs. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy

I wanted and preferred the Orgovyx pills, but Medicare wanted a $900 a mth co-pay. Pretty much left me with the covered Eligard shot. Dr. claims the T levels return faster after Org dosage is stopped.

Orgovyx was covered under Tier 5 (25% copay) of my Part D Medicare drug plan, and I paid the out of pocket. However I transitioned to catastrophic coverage (the precise calculation continues to evade me) after 5/6 months and the out of pocket cost dropped significantly.
Eligard/Lupron, as injectables, are covered more comprehensively under Medicare Part B.

Did you check the orgovyx site for the co-pay cards? You may make too much money, but it is worth checking. I'm worried about the depression. This is depressing enough already.
Decipher will tell you if your tumor is resistant to anti-androgen treatment.
At least original Medicare pays for Proton. Where will you have the proton treatment?
