Good news to hear that Lupron is working for you so well. Seems very encouraging. Did you do a 3 month or in one month injections? Also are you taking anything else? How are your side effects? I'm on Orgovyx and dealing with night sweats constantly and hot flashes a few times a day but overall decent meds but docs may want to switch to Lupron as insurance won't pay in 2025. Hoping you're doing well with side effects? Stay healthy and on your trajectory of success.

Thank you.

No side effects. Just had a few nights w night sweats recently.

One 90 day injection in rear. Due for 2 end of Dec.

I have been given 4 3week rounds of Keytruda and cisplatin for lungs. Might be a slight overlap which help pc.

My Lupron injection in Canada is every four months and has never been every three.

I had an RP 6 years ago, Gleason 9, one lymph node positive, perineural. Went 3 years no treatment needed, PSA undetectable - Recurrence of 1 spot in pelvic area - on Lupron (6 month injections) & Abiraterone for 2 years along with salvage radiation. Ended Lupron & Abiraterone in late May of this year. PSA still undetectable and CT Scan & Bone Scan negative for any cancer. Testosterone is returning slowly. ----- I know how good it can feel to have things going in the right direction. Stay active, positive and healthy!
