Firmagon vs Lupron
So, the question is what are the up or downs if switching from
Firmagon
to Lupron. I used Orgovyx until it didn't work, switched to
Firmagon
. Wanted either due to family history with heart issues. Dad, uncle's, brothers, all having issues. One brother recently having a major HA...

Triplet Therapy
My husband is going to start triplet therapy starting with a
firmagon
shot next week followed by chemo. How much is the typical gap between ADT and starting chemo - 2 weeks, 4 weeks ?

Estradiol, QoL and inflammation
Whereas I had experienced some discomfort from the monthly
Firmagon
shots, this was easy to manage. After I started with estradiol early this year, the January and even more so the February
Firmagon
shot caused serious discomfort-- shivering and feeling unwell for more than 24 hours.

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
I guess as long as the
Firmagon
is working I'll stay with it but it would be nice to go through it twice a year instead of every month.

Firmagon vs. Lupron
The
Firmagon
is working so I don't want to switch to something that may not work. Is the six month Lupron shot just as effective as the monthly
Firmagon
shot? Thanks.

Aetna appeal for Firmagon denial
Had first 240 mg dose of
firmagon
on September 14 with no major side effects so far. Doctor used
firmagon
to avoid testosterone surge, and after conferring with MO, he agreed to have my husband stay with the
firmagon
.

Thank you everybody - part 2
I didn't get a
firmagon
injection but I do have an updated prescription. 7. Their preference is to wait 2 months before giving me the injection but I can start next week if I push for it. 8.

fast-rising PSA
I was diagnosed 3/23 - high volume/high risk, and have been on
Firmagon
and Abiraterone plus pred. In Sept my PSA started to rise, with testosterone remaining negligible.

Switching to Lupron?
I've been on
Firmagon
for two years. PSA undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?

PSA now undetectable with 2 of 35 radiation treatments left.
Started
Firmagon
in September, Lupron in December. I feel more comfortable discussing my treatment with my doctors from the knowledge I gain here. Still more to learn and more questions to understand. I’m glad I have this group in my corner. thank you
