ADT/ARI treatment - 1 month in
mCSPC - Gleason 9 (5+4) - lymph and bone metastasis. Treatment plan is ADT/ARI (Orgovyx/Nubequa) for 3-4 months then IMRT x 20. First blood work 1 month into treatment:
PSA: Baseline - 30.11
7/9 - 0.55
Testosterone: Baseline - 450
7/9 - 10
Seems as though the drugs work. 😁
Side effects: Tolerable hot flashes and some joint stiffness in hands and knees. That's about it. I walk 2 miles a day and do full body resistance training 3 days a week (resistance bands). Hopefully that will keep the side effects mild.
