Has anyone on Medicare ( or Medicare Advantage)gotten financial assistance from Orgovyx manufacturer?
I’m going to get my doctor to help me apply since co- payment assistance isn’t available if one is on Medicare . Co-pay is 500 on United Healthcare Medicare Advantage .

Orgovyx question
Doc put me on
Orgovyx
4 days ago. Have been having heart palpitations since then. Did not take a pill today to see if palps get better. PSA was at 7 about a month ago. Anyone with similar problems with
Orgovyx
? Should I be on a more aggressive treatment ? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks !

Pain in the hip and knee, Low PSA
Been on ADT (Abiraterone +
Orgovyx
) therapy since April 2021 and my PSA has been in a range ~ .3- .6 since then. Never had prostate removed as it had already metastesized. A few days ago started having pain in the hip and knee which is getting worse. Nothing helps alleviate the pain.

Firmagon and Zytiga
Also any thoughts on
Orgovyx
vs Firmagon. I do not like present side effects: hot flashes, fatigue and tiredness.

How do administration of Eligard, Lupron, and Firmagon differ? How are the shots given?
He was previously getting monthly Firmagon shots and for the last four months he's been taking
Orgovyx
. The firmagon injections were painful, left a big knot on his belly, and he felt bad for several days after. Any help will be appreciated.

Effect of ADT on Bicycling Speed and Power
Since I went on ADT (
Orgovyx
and abiraterone) my biking speed and power has substantially diminished. No surprise due to T=7. Hills I used to breeze right up are now challenging, and riding into any wind is very difficult.

New nadir, any ideas
Orgovyx
is still working, my T is at 12, yeah 12. I'd really like to know what my PCa is doing. Coming off of ADT vacations, my nadir has bumped up, but when I went back on ADT, PSA always went back down to my nadir .

ADT with Orgovyx
Doc wants me on
Orgovyx
.
Orgovyx
has a list of side effects that seem worse than Lupron. DEATH by heart attack /stroke are disturbing.
Orgovyx
has ALL the other Lupron side effects like fatigue, exhaustion, hot flashes, bone pain, and on and on. Since
Orgovyx
is new, their history is not very long.

Finally Starting Treatment
Invitae found CHEK2 mutation So I'm starting
Orgovyx
on Sunday, planned two year duration. IMRT will follow after two or three months of ADT, that followed by either low or high brachytherapy. Is there anything missing here to get the best outcome?

When is Provenge indicated?
Officially my husband is castrate sensitive (but PSA is trending upward on
Orgovyx
). After Axumin in February 2020 when PSA was just over 2 there were a couple of spots of activity in his prostate bed on the right side where margins were positive and one iliac node.

Why are cardiac effects different for GnRH agonists and antagonists?
I've always been troubled by the observation that GnRH agonists (like Lupron, Gosarelix, Zoladex, and Triptorelin) had a high risk of cardiotoxicity while GnRH antagonists (Firmagon and
Orgovyx
) did not. Why should they be different if they both lower testosterone?

Relugolix / Orgovyx
Anyone having issue with obtaining Relugolix? Not the script/prescription by your oncologist, but after that... How did you get it? Local pharmacy? Or is it something else, direct drop ship from manufacturer of drug? I'm having difficulty... My MO has prescribed it and for the last week have been getting

Is this castrate resistance?
In April he switched to
Orgovyx
from Firmagon. Just got newest results after a month of
Orgovyx
his T is at 7, but PSA is at 0.17. ☹️ Thinking I want to find new provider. Which regional prostate cancer specialist / cancer center would be our best bet if we are in Nashville?

Higher AST and ALT levels, from Covid vaccine nanoparticles or from Orgovyx ADT pills, or both
The increase is probably a combination of the
Orgovyx
and the Vaccine. Lupron never raised my liver enzymes AST ALT levels.

Does anyone know if orgovyx can be stopped and Firmagon be restarted seamlessly?
My husband’s doctor has suggested he switch from Firmagon to
orgovyx
. He was due for a Firmagon dose yesterday. PSA is at 0.12. We are not sure what the copay will be with his WellCare Part D. Originally we signed him up w Aetna Part D and it was transitioned into WellCare.

Anyone taking Orgovyx (ADT)? If so, how do you compare your side effects to Lupron?
Are you taking
Orgovyx
(ADT)? If so, how do you compare your side effects to Lupron? I will share my experience after I hear what others have to say. There may not be more than a couple of you taking it, since it just entered the market recently.
