My Oncologest changed my ADT from Zoladex to Lupron. My last 3 month implant was Jan 13. The other day noticed a lump at the injection site about the size of a large jelly bean. I never noticed anything while taking Zoladex. Anyone else experienced this?

Zolodex goes in as a rice-sized pellet. Lupron goes in as a gel and spreads a little bit. I can sometimes feel a jelly bean, too.
Agreed. Remember it's a three month dose. A six month shot and you might end up with a Robbins egg!
Keep a good sense of humor and don't sweat the small stuff!
If you want an alien to burst from your stomach, try an every 28 days Firmagon injection!
It is time eeleased the bump is normal
I've been on Lupron for six years, after a short stint on Trelstar. My experience has been a pancake like lump, but below the skin. What bothers me is the week long ass cheek pain. Ugghh!
Did your onc explain why the change? I chose Zoladex over Lupron and I was happy for all 14 years that I used it. Paid $25 deductible per three shots. Small change for the relative benefits. Hardly any side effects except for the low libido when I was on it. I did intermittent so I had vacations between cycles.
Normal. I took Lupron for six years. It will dissipate

No!
Zytiga+Zoladex instead of Taxotere 
Zoladex and Enzalutamide? 
casodex and zoladex 
Is Zoladex the best injection treatment?
