LUPRON Depot Cardio SE’s- A list available? I know Hypertension is one.
Well, is there a composite list of Cardiac SE’s during Lupron 90 day injections? Yes, increased hypertension is primary. Anybody can provide me like a top five? Considering discussion with my Cardiologist-NP next Thursday. My EP(electrophysiologist) too… Trying to justify my change of PCa ADT/ cardio

Lupron Side Effects
I am having Lupron injections. I have been to my doctor- GP complaining about dull headaches and slow thinking. Could this be a side effect of Lupron? From Burnett 1948.

1st post - ramblings for future treatment decisions & so much research info to digest
In March 2018 at 64yo with an escalating PSA from <3 16 months earlier to 7.3 in 5 weeks the biopsy revealed 2 of 12 samples with Gleason 4+4 in both. Discussion with doctors at Mayo & my bride led to decision of robotic assisted radical prostatectomy with nerve sparing in 8/18. Pathology revealed no

do I have to change Lupron?
tomorrow I will have 3.Lucrin injection and have appointment with MO. T value is high compared with last April data. So I think myself that Lupron has lost effect, perhaps I need to add Casodex to Lucrin or change it to Zoladex or other or keep continue with Lucrin . In the below table I tried share

K I S S, yes trying to keep it simple. A Lupron vacation after 2 yrs on & Abiraterone(250mg) & Prednisone 5mg? Yes or no?
Well, discussions with my med oncologist June 3rd did entail the possibility of stopping my Lupron 90 day injections this Sept. Notice I said possibility. 1. I've had two successful CT scans of my abdomen/Pelvis this year(primarily to detect my severe diverticulitis) both scans showed no 'cancer lesion

Problems with Zytiga?
I’m on Lupron/Zytiga/prednisone for a little over two months. I started Zytiga at 1000mg but after less than a month had to drop down to 500mg because of liver problems. Prednisone has been at 5mg. Last Thursday I fainted while fishing (I was celebrating the end of 25 days of radiation to pelvic lymph

IVF Drug Comparisons
Does anyone know of a website or research paper that compares the different stimulation drugs? I’ve done three cycles on Menopur (short lupron flare protocol) and after kicking off a bit they’ve agreed to try a different protocol where they’re going to do a double trigger protocol. They’ve also suggested
