Editor’s Pick: Don’t suffer in silence with joint pains after starting ADT (bn)
Topics Discussed
Only 6 months of Orgovyx with his salvage radiation — too short?; aching joints on ADT are incapacitating him; he struggled to get proton beam but standard radiation therapy is looking better and better; public service message: get your flu shot!; PSA creeping up despite hormone therapy — should his docs be doing more?; put questions for the doc in writing; is a broader field of coverage better for salvage therapy?; feeling better after radiation fatigue, and battling melanoma, too; suspicious lymph node, but it’s dangerously close to the rectum
