Blood work on radiation and Lupron
Urology physician assistant (PA) gave me a PSA blood lab slip to do prior to my next
Lupron
shot which is about 15 days after completing radiation. She said it was standard office protocol to do PSA test prior to
Lupron
shot.

How do you find a good oncologist and how do you overcome the side effects of Lupron?
Also, what has your experience with
Lupron
been and how do you combat the awful side effects? Are there any other treatments besides this?

Questions about ADT drugs and insurance
Will Medicare cover
Lupron
injections under part B as it is not self administered (as opposed to pills)? If so how much will they cover (with a supplement plan). Regarding Orgovyx, since it is a pill and not an injection will it be covered under Medicare part D drug coverage?

testosterone finally moving up after Treatment.
Finally after 19 months of
lupron
and zytiga and 40 rounds of radiation my testosterone has hit 325. I do 3 month testing and it has held for 6 months. I can feel the difference and am not only doing more but my weight is falling off and glucose has a hard time going above 115.

Two Qs: Benefits treatment; onset of bone pain
PSA kept climbing so I started
Lupron
2 years ago. Worked until recently when PSA spiked. PETscan showed metastasis for first time into torso lymph nodes. Been on Aberiterone and Prednisone for three months now (along with
Lupron
) and appears to bringing PSA back down.

PSA doubled 3 months after chemo - normal or a concern?
I’m currently on
Lupron
and NUBEQA, and completed 6 rounds of taxotere at the end of April (Triplet Therapy). PSA cut in half every three weeks while on the chemo going from 0.944 in January to 0.013 in April.

Orgovyx Insurance Approval
I really want to avoid
Lupron
or Eligard since I take two blood pressure meds, one statin and Metformin for type 2 diabetes already. Plus, I have heard nothing but bad things about both. Yes, I realize everyone responds differently.

How long to Castrate Resistance: ADT+/- ARSI
They cannot report it for Enza mono as they could always add
Lupron
, and these had supra-physiologic Testosterone levels, so do not meet criteria for CR. It is an additional unmeasured possible advantage of ARSI monotherapy as it could be followed with ADT when monotherapy fails.

Lupron only after 4.5+ years
Started
Lupron
Nov. 2018. Over the years PSA has bounced up and down from low of 0.5 in March 2021 to high of 1.4 in June 2020. Mostly stayed 0.6 to 0.9. Ended 2022 at .67, but last two readings were 1.01 in March and .98 two days ago. Never had RP, radiation, chemo, or other hormonal meds.

PSA suppression
In the end, I decided to skip Abi, Enza &
Lupron
and go back in time to DES (diethylstilbestrol). It's a synthetic estrogen that maintains bone health even while estradiol falls to zero. And it has anti-PCa properties.

Started taking Taxomere and
Lupron
treatments.. my PSA levels went from 6 to 1 to 0.2. I still have three more treatments to go.. Hope this gives hope to people. The taxomere seems to work fairly well.

Lupron from 3 to 6 months
Hi Fellow PC warriors, Since my PSA is undetectable, less than 0.01, and I’m otherwise in good health with stage 4 and mets throughout, my urologist suggests I go from 3 month injections intervals to every 6 months. He mentioned that the side effects are similar and the only change is going from
