Discontinuing drugs

Hi, my name is John. I’ve been on orgovyx for approximately two years my cancer doctor decided it’s time to get off of the medication. I’m happy to get off it. I am also scared. My PSA hasn’t moved from .014 since my surgery although I hate the side effects of my meds, I felt it was working I had that layer of protection now they’re taking it away don’t know how to react does anybody have any advice? I’ve had cancer for two years Gleason scored 9/10 spread outside the prostate. Thanks for any advice.

  1. Hi I can understand why you would be concerned about removing this layer of protection. I hope our community members respond here with their personal experiences with this. After getting off the medication, what is the follow up plan from your doctor? Jill, prostatecancer.net team

    1. Will be doing blood test monitoring PSA every six weeks maybe PET scan

      1. that is good, I am glad there is a plan in place. Jill, prostatecancer.net team
