Lupron SEs - legs
Appreciate this forum and all whom post. I’m amidst 2-year course of Lupron and experiencing persistent leg pain, worst in both Achilles tendons and calves. Recent salvage IMRT, too. Thoughts on managing such SEs appreciated. Cheers.

Castrate Resistant
I know that patients who were started at beginning with combo of, say, Lupron plus abiraterone acetate are declared castrate resistant when PSA rises in certain ways and/or progression is shown on scans. However, for someone like me, who's been on Lupron only since diagnosis, am I not castrate resistant

Next step options after lupron/zytiga failed
I have been on monthly Lupron for 7 years (starting in 2014) after the spread of prostate cancer to my bones following a prostatectomy in 2014. Lupron alone was very effective until December 2021. I then added Zytiga/Prednisone which had worked well. But current (June 2024) scans show substantial disease

Lupron Question
Received a 3 month Lupron injection last week. Can someone share how long it takes to feel the full effects of the medication ? I'm awaiting insurance approval for Xtandi but I should start this week. Will Xtandi make a big difference in how I feel ?

BUYING DRUGS
Our cancer treatment centres are a disaster here. I need to purchase some drugs on my own if I am to survive. Would you please recommend someone you trust to buy from the following: 1. Zytiga. 500 mg. dosage or whatever is available, I need three months worth, taken twice daily 2. Prednisone 5 mg

Improved chances of success with ADT?
I'm a Gleason 4+3, group T2C. I completed five sessions of SBRT but the radiation oncologist says staying on Lupron for six months total will improve the odds of success. What I see online, though, is that ADT only improves the odds of success by 1-2 percentage points. If that's the case, it's not worth

Docetaxal chemotherapy
I have had prostate cancer since 2017. First I had radiation and then Lupron for three years. When my PSA started to rise I took abiraterone and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When

Why is my RO changing from Degerelix to Lupron after a month?
my husband started ADT treatment and RO informed him that after a month he will switch to Lupron. Is there a reason why he is doing this? As Lupron I read causes depression, anxiety. And if hopefully Degerelix works why change it? Can we request he not ? TIA.

Does lupron/zytiga cause peripheral neuropathy as side effect?
I have been on Lupron for a year Aberaterone and prednisone for 10 months. Quite suddenly about six or seven weeks ago I developed peripheral neuropathy In my feet and toes. Mild pain, but constant really bad, stinging in my toes and feet. I’ve read that neuropathy can be a side effect of aberaterone

Anyone felt as if drunk while on Relugovix?
After 13 months of ADT vacation, I've gone back on ADT last week. This time I am on Relugovix (Orgovyx) instead of Lupron. Since I exercise pretty much everyday, even upping my training a little more on the cardio side of late, I think I am doing not too bad against the fatigue from the ADT. Then

anyone takes relugolix and bitalucamide together ?
Does anyone take orgovyx and bicalutamide together. Dad was earlier prescribed lupron so the doc had started him on bicalutamide 100 mg a day. But then decided to go with orgovyx instead of Lupron. One MO says to stop the bicalutamide since starting relugolix and the other MO says to continue bicalutamide

Provenge immunotherapy
After 5.5 years on Lupron (no Zytiga, Xtandi, Daro, etc.), my PSA hit its highest points ever (1.92), although I'm still not 2 points above my lowest reading of 0.5 (only one of those). I'm metastatic and was at diagnosis, so still have prostate. I've been researching Provenge a bit, and understand that
