I did not have any cardiac issues. After being on Lupron for an aggregate of 10 or more years, I now possess severe coronary artery calcification. It’s no joke

How do you know it is related to Lupron especially after being on it for 10 plus years?

My PCP made the connection. There is nothing else which would have caused this.

thx for your response. I'm currently in the process of switching from Lupron to Orgovyx. My radiation oncologist feels there isn't much difference between either drug for cardiovascular events. Many agree and disagree. So many factors make this fricken ADT the worst part of my cancer. So tired of this.

Oh I hear you. I have been dealing with this bitch for 19 years. I like Lupron over orgovyx for the fact there is one less pill to worry about.
