Hi !
As you can see in my profile I’m fairly new on this wonderful community and I’m also a prostate cancer patient living in Sweden.
My treatment journey is a little bit different then most locally advanced prostate cancer patients and therefore I’m curious from others experience from time of diagnosis, curative treatments, treatments to suppress the cancer (ADT, 2nd gen treatments), studies that you have participated in, combination of studies and etc.
Of course it’s very interesting to see how everything is working out, pros and cons and perhaps how people handle long periods (maybe 2-3 years) of routine checkups to see if you are in total remission, potentially even Cure and also the time after long periods of ADT or/and combination therapies to still have long periods to know if you’re in the clear or not.
Locally advanced prostate cancer and also advanced prostate cancer in my own personal opinion is a extremly vague diagnoses as it spans from cure, long remission to high rates of recurrence and for me this is really a rollercoaster.
Hope to have some good inspirational dialogues and of course, EVERBODY is very welcome in this discussion because everybody have a story to tell and to learn

Fantastic outlook and exactly the same as my mindset, I've got it and there's nothing I can do to change that. I'm also on triplet therapy and not going to let the little blighters ruin it or dictate my life. Yes I'll follow my oncologists advice, but life goes on
Ps watch out for those busses when crossing the road 
Hi Robert1 !
Actually I would say side effects is pretty much similar with Orgovyx / Abiraterone as it was with Firmagon / Abiraterone. I defenetily feel more fatigue and tired when starting on ADT, had more sweats when starting both ADT treatments but those have been much milder now.
The libido have decreased a lot since I started already in January I suppose I’m one of those lucky ones that have been able to have sexual function and respond to PDI5 inhibitors which I use for both penile health and to keep up having a sex life with my partner.
Happy that you have only lighter side effects 
Best wishes - Ulf
