I am beginning hormone therapy, which should hopefully reduce the size of my prostate. I have been given 11.5mg of Leuprorelin and 2 weeks of bicalutamide to reduce the testosterone flair up. How long should this take to actually reduce the size of my prostate?

Thanks, I am actually on hormone therapy for other reasons, so I'm not sure if it's something I should raise with my doctor. So I'm hoping for this additional side benefit. Hard to find any clear information online for this, would it be 6 month for peak reduction or begin shrinking at 6 months?
