I am 5 months post SBRT, and finished 6 months of Orgovyx 3 days ago.

That is so cool! I am three months post SBRT, and also completed six months of Orgovyx. Feeling great and looking forward to a life without hot flashes!

Hi, Tom.

How are you doing now?

How did you do on Orgovyz? Were the hot flashes bad? Any fatigue?

I'm scheduled to get my SpaceOAR installed Monday, and then SBRT in a couple of weeks.

My ADT plan, which I've been transitioning into over the past few weeks, is to stop completely the testosterone supplementation and increase the estradiol gel to full-dose, in place of doing Orgovyx ADT.

Bob, I am doing absolutely fabulously and I hope you do as well as I did.

I typically had one or two hot flashes at night that would wake me up......kick a leg out....throw off the covers and carry on. Really not bad at all. No fatigue, gained 2 pounds, seemingly maintained muscle mass, no man-boobs. All SBRT short term side effects gone in two weeks. I am telling you this has been a piece of cake.

Keep us posted.....Stay Strong Brother!!
