Lupron Side Effects and Lymph Nodes

Lupron seems to cause a host of side effects, depending on who is using it. But more specifically, has anyone experienced the swelling of lymph nodes while on the drug?

You may have an infection, or it may be progression of the cancer.

Thanks Allen. I'm thinking the latter. But they always say to get a second opinion. I appreciate the response!

A PET scan or biopsy would tell you more

Allen, I am scheduled to see the urologist next week for another 6mos. injection of Lupron. Maybe a stupid question, but if there is a progression of cancer indicated, does it make sense to remain on the Lupron?

Yes - the cancer becomes super-sensitive to even the smallest amount of androgen.
