Hello all - I was hoping someone has some insight for me. I just started ADT which consisted of a loading dose made up of 2 shots of Firmagon in the stomach. While the shots did not hurt much, it was about 8 hours later that experienced a lot of pain at the injection sites. Today, which is 9 days after the shots, the pain has finally subsided to an almost unnoticeable point. My MO wants to start me on a 3-month Lupron injection for my next shot, then shortly thereafter add Abiraterone or Enzalutimde. I asked him about Orgovyx, as I do have some Coronary Calcium, and also have mild Hypertension. As a side note, next week I am starting 37 Rounds of Protons to the Prostate Bed and Lymph nodes, as we have found 1 node with mild uptake after 2 PSMA pet scans.
In researching ADT, I thought Orgovyx is/was better for the heart and equally as effective in lowering T. However, my doctor stated that Orgovyx with a Enzo or Abi doesn’t work as well as Lupron with Enza or Abi. Appreciate your thoughts on whether any of you have an opinion on Orgovyx vs. Lupron with a Abi or Enza
