How Long on Orgovyx

Posted by rnpalarino1 @rnpalarino1, 2 hours ago

Hello All:
I am asking for members to tell me how long they have been on Orgovyx. My prostate was removed (Gleason score of 9) and two years after removal my PSA numbers began to rise to .9. Scan did not detect any cancer. Oncologist put me on Orgovyx because I cannot have radiation. PSA went back to < .01. Then I went off it for about 6 months and my PSA went back up to .14. My oncologist told me to go back on Orgovyx. I want to know of others on this forum who have had similar experiences and how many times they have gone on and off Orgovyx. Merry Christmas!

I was initially on Firmagon (a GnRH similar to Orgovyx, but injected 1x/month), then switched to Orgovyx when it became available in Canada.

I've been on one or the other for 4 years, 2 months (along with Apalutamide), and since they've succeeded brilliantly in keeping my stage-4 cancer in deep remission (PSA < 0.01), there's no plan to stop.

Of course, medical advice may change based on new research, new tests may emerge, or new meds may hit the market, but at the moment ADT-for-life remains the default standard of care for stage 4 prostate cancer.
