Lupron Injection Site Pain
Hi all - curious if any of you have had this weirdness. I got my first Lupron injection Aug 17th (3mth 22.5mg i believe) - had the initial soreness at injection site on shoulder that is typical of even say a flu shot. That pain did go away in couple days but came back on the 10th day and still is

What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
I was diagnosed with PC, March 2022. Gleason 4+5 (9). Urologist wanted to do a radical prostatectomy. I chose to change my diet, exercise and lifestyle to a plant-based detox from chemicals in my food and in my house. My PSA went from 13.7 to 100 in one year. It metastasized to my pelvic area and seminal

FSH going from 8 to 43 just in few weeks while preparing for a FET, is it temporary or menopause?
Hi Ladies Can anyone help put a light to my issue of FSH going from 8 to 43 just in 2-3 weeks while I was doing tests before a frozen transfer. I am devastated as I cannot find a logic to this. Background I am preparing for a FET cycle but my hormons all of a sudden messed up besides my thin lining

Orgovyx Insurance Approval
Anyone who is not on Medicare but relying on private insurance in getting approval for Orgovyx? 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

timing between Lupron injections
After 17 months on firmagon injections, I switched to the 84 day lupron injection on June 15. How far can the 84 days be safely extended? I am currently scheduled for another injection on September 14, which is 91 days. I hope that is ok, as our scheduling was extended because of vacation conflicts

T flare with Lupron jab
Does every Lupron injection leads to a temporary testosterone flare or just the first one?I'm on 3 monthly Lupron jab. I got my first erection in weeks (with Viagra) after my 2nd jab and was wondering if that was because of the Lupron jab a few days earlier.

nubequa
Question for anyone taking Nubequa. How long did it take to get PSA nondectable… or did it ever reach that low point? My husband began with it & Lupron in January. PSA was 14 and 6 months later only down to 4.3 He does not have a prostate … Journey began in 2017. All clear at time of surgery. Biochemical

how fit can one be on ADT and abiraterone?
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone for less than two months and I have gone from doing 50 consecutive push ips to 10. I am slim on KETO diet but am disenchanted with the lack of ability to maintain any muscle. How much strength can be maintained on these meds?

1st Lupron shot - when do side effects kick in?
I'm bracing myself for the side effects, haha. Wife is going away for a few days and she said when she returns she expects to see me in the kitchen, baking cookies and watching reality TV. Wondering how long it will take before I feel anything...then again, I'll probably find out tonight when I roll

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and Docetaxel. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me? And does it have to

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

Intermittent ADT
Hi all,I am wondering what are your views on intermittent ADT? PSMA Pet scan has revealed one met in my ribs...it was treated with SBRT. I was given a 3 month Lupron shot which reduces my PSA to 0.24 ug/l. I'm considering going on IADT....6 months of ADT followed by 6 months break and repeat. Anyone
