Unexpected Dive in PSA

Was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3) in June. PSA was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high PSA, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again on 10/10 and it is now 2.07 (!). No complaints, but I wasn't quite prepared for the sharp dive in PSA. Any ideas why this is the case? Is that unusual or the norm? Yes, I plan to discuss with my RO at our next meet. Thanks.

that’s the orgovyx, it works pretty fast, so I’d be super happy with that result !
