@brianjarvis yes. Orgovyx and Nubeqa. Prob go thru March of 2027 which will be 21 months..I went to undetectable in about 7 weeks after starting ADT which docs consider very strong response..of course the real question is will PSA stay down over time. we shall see

@xahnegrey40 My medical oncologist compared it to using training wheels on a bicycle. Sure, I can ride with them on; but, at some point I have to take them off and see what happens then.

(For me, it’s worked out well; see my attached post-treatment PSA tracking chart.)

I’m glad for your good results!

May I ask why you’re not taking your thyroid meds?

@canadaanne well I am not a green beret when it comes to taking meds..so the 5 ( 1 Orgovyx and 4 Nubeqa) daily keep me busy. However, I am going to get a Rx refill this week and get back on that med as well..I will do better !
