Lupron vs. Testosterone

[Blueribbon63]

I started this new round of Lupron 4 months ago, testosterone was 175, PSA 16 (never fully recovered from a 2 years hormone suppression that ended also 2 years ago. One month after first injection, testosterone 85 PSA 3, two months, testosterone 75 PSA .8, third month, testosterone 105! PSA .8Could it be said that prostate is becoming resistant to hormone suppression?

I am getting my 2nd Lupron injection in two weeks.

No because your testosterone never reached castrate levels (<50, preferably <20).

Discuss getting a firmagon or relugolix instead of using lupron or similar and see if the testosterone can reach castrate levels.

Strangely, Lupron isn't suppressing your testosterone. Switch to Firmagon.
