Having Eligard injections. Should I ask for radiation to prevent gynecomastia?
Should I ask the RO for radiation to my chest area to prevent gynecomastia from the
Eligard
. I have been told I can't take tamoxifen. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Eligard vs Lupron
I can find no difference between the two other than method of delivery. Anyone else know of anything?

Can Eligard cause gynecomastia?
I was started on
Eligard
3 month injections in August,2022. I may be on
Eligard
for a total of 18 months. Also, in December, I will start 28 sessions of EBRT. Would it be a good idea to get radiation to my chest area to prevent gynecomastia? I've been told that I can't take tamoxifen.

Two years and counting
Dr Sartor said his recent experience using the
Eligard
, Abiraterone + Prednisone combo, was not as hard on bones as past treatments. He did recommend that I get a DEXA scan and take Oscal 500+D 2 times a day. As far as I know the Oscal company is out of business. I found a substitute.

Undetectable PSA
Yesterday I received my 3rd
Eligard
(3 month) injection. I'm also on Zytiga and finished 44 IMRT 5 weeks ago. The cancer center is attached to a large hospital and they test the blood work in house. MO says everything looked great and that my PSA is now undetectable.

Suspicious Lung Nodule "Disappeared" w/ Eligard (Lupron)??
Second opinion provider (where I chose to go) has gone ahead with the prostate bed radiation, but also thought it would be good to get a baseline Chest CT BEFORE hormone (
Eligard
) treatment, and then do another after
Eligard
— if the lung nodule shrank, it would be a good sign of being prostate cancer

Finally, my MO's treatment plan:, no Triplet Therapy. Let's do Eligard, XTANDI, Radiation, XGEVA
Eligard
, XTANDI, radiation was the first option, and Triplet Therapy was the second on the list.

The ridiculous cost of Lupron in the US
I don't know why the article doesn't mention

Calling all BAT-men ...
First question: having received my
Eligard
shot yesterday (Jan 19), and discontinued abi, what would be a reasonable date to get my first dose of high-T? My MO thinks it should be a full four weeks from 1/19, but wouldn't a full month from 1/6 make sense, too?

About to end 1chaoter in this Journey and enter into a new Chapter
Today, I go to see my urologist, have the usual lab test done and then receive my last injection of
Eligard
. It’s been 2 1/2 years of getting this medication. Now I will be coming off it and we will just have to see what happens over the next six months to a year or longer.

Substitute Eplerenone for Prednisone with Zytiga?
I am taking
Eligard
+ Zytiga + Prednisone (5mg). I would like to stop the prednisone and substitute eplerenone (Inspra), if that is viable. I found this exchange from earlier this year from Gearhead, with comments from Tango65 and T_A, among others.

Eligard v Lupron
I had a three month
Eligard
injection three months ago and experienced "mild" side effects. My next injection a week ago was a three month Lupron shot. I feel that the side effects are much more pronounced. A few days ago I passed out after getting out of my hot tub.

Starting Docutaxel chemo treatments this week
He was started on
Eligard
shots in February. They planned to start radiation in June after a second round of
Eligard
was going, but scans then showed mets in hip bone and lymph glands in groin. They said no to radiation and instead started him on Zytiga in June.
