Lupron side effects
I have metastatic prostate C to both hips, sternum and some parts of my back. I have been on Lupron for 6 months and Xtandi for 4 months. Due for Prolia injection on Monday. If I have my testicles removed can I stop the Lupron and is there a down side to doing that. I am 82 years old.

The joys of Lupron
I am due to have my fourth, 3-month, Lupron injection. For two days following the shot my hip hurts like the dickens (whatever that is). Is this common?

Opinion?
Newly diagnosed, Gleason 9, PSA about 40 at biopsy, aggressive, PET shows low burden, two bone mets. At my age 82, although health "very good", Onc wants to avoid chemo. Just started on Casodex and will add Lupron, until PSA under control then add (switch to?) Zytiga and radiation to clean up prostate

PSA Jumped
Just when I thought everything was under control and that I might even have a chance of a long remission I got what must be considered some bad news . PSA jumped to 0.12 from 0.01 which it had been at for the last 5 months. ( see below for history ) My MO said it may be a bounce following radiation,

Zytiga Failed Me Bigtime
I've had a constant problem with rising PSA for the past 18 months. First went on ADT in Sept 2020 when my PSA hit 165, 14 weeks after surgery. After going on Lupron and Erleada my PSA dropped to .20 in 6 months. After that it did nothing but rise back up to 120 about 4 weeks ago. After the Erleada

Antidepressants and ED
I've been on ADT for 4.5 years. Lupron and Zytiga. We all know the sexual health problems with that. I was getting depressed quite badly at times so I started Citalopram a few days ago. It's already helping but I have noticed a bit more ED. Maybe I have to give it some time to see. There are other anti

Vit B12 extremely high
So, I have stage 4 de novo prostate CA. On Lupron, in between 5th & 6th docetaxel chemo. Had to stop abiraterone due to elevated bilirubin & will try restarting after chemo is over. Recently diagnosed with MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which is unrelated to the prostate.

PSA and Zytiga
Was on Lupron for years then in July PSA jumped to 10 so put on Zytiga and predinsone and doctor said PSA no longer matters. Why? My PSA dropped to .4 but it doesn’t matter now, why?

Lupron and scalp hair growth?
Two months on Lupron and I swear the hair on my scalp is growing thicker, and maybe even filling in places that were really sparse. I was never completely bald, but definitely had that male pattern baldness well on its way. Am I crazy, or is this possible? Have others noticed same? Maybe lack of testosterone

Can anyone who has experienced it please explain the difference between 'withdrawal pain' and return of symptoms when reducing Pred dose?
I am currently on a high dose of Pred (22 per day). I feel this is the bare minimum my body needs, and I actually possibly need more. If I take, say 22.5, I feel much better. I'd obviously like to reduce the dose if possible because of the side effects of Pred , but every time I go down to 21, even

ADT Holiday Unexpected Consequences
After stopping Lupron and then, 5 months later abiraterone/dexamethasone, I began to experience what I believe to be arthritis joint pains. Not only in my hips (previously diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis) but other joints as well. I did a two week taper-off from the dex but I believe, and
