I’ve posted here before about the weird side effects I’ve been experiencing; shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats, chest pain, frequent urination, back/hip pain, and a persistent cough. I’ve been on doublet therapy (Orgovyx + Abiraterone/Prednisone) for a while (Orgovyx since mid December, Abiraterone since mid-May).
These side effects have seriously affected my SoL, so my oncologist suggested a brief (5 week) vacation from the Abi/Pred., to see if that’s the cause of all these debilitating side effects. I’m continuing to take the Orgovyx. In the meanwhile I’m getting another heart-related test (some 3D CT scan) and may see a pulmonologist if my breathing doesn’t improve.
I guess I’m asking if y’all have gone through anything similar, and had any advice/suggestions for me. I know the STAMPEDE protocol (I keep wanting to write “RAMPAGE”) is probably the best idea for success, but these SEs are making me miserable.
Thanks in advance for your time and input.
