Orgovyx side effects

Posted by csimadera1 @csimadera1, 11 hours ago

Waiting for my Orgovyx to arrive so I can begin ADT. Have a procedure on 02/19 for Fiducial markers & barrigel then wait for my schedule for RT. Was wondering on average, how long before the ADT side effects begin to arise? I understand everyone is different. Just looking to prepare myself mentally for the process.
I have declined the "2 year protocol" and opted for the initial 6 month term and see what The Good Lord drops in my lap.
Thank you guys in advance!

The HERO study (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2004325) goes into great detail about Orgovyx.

If your diagnosis warrants 2 years of ADT, stopping after 6 months is very risky. (The Good Lord has already allowed doctors the knowledge to know what cancers warrant 6 months and which warrant 24 months. Choose well.)

first 30 days or so can be tough.. stay hydrated !! exercise some...you will prob start to experience hot flashes and other weirdness as your testostrone is blocked...it blocks the testostrone very well in 3 days or so and that shuts down cancer -usually.

the early days can be challenging but after that, you may find it is not too bad...If your docs recommened 24 months..I wouldnt stop at 6 months...do at least a year...you can do it !
