Lupron timing, is it critical to stay on strict schedule?
I get my Lupron shots every 6 months. We have recently moved more than 1,000 miles. Looks like it might take awhile to transfer my medical care. My Lupron shot is due Sept 3. Question: Would a week or two delay be dangerous? If so I’ll try knocking on some backdoors to try to get jabbed before my paperwork

FM/a test - bogus(?)
This is a new short article on medpage yesterday, based on a very long and informative STAT investigation article from last week (2021/10/20). The links and my comments (sorry, lengthy...) below... "Bogus Fibromyalgia Test? A blood test for fibromyalgia is based on shaky science, but still marketed directly

Orchiectomy
Been very busy with my new house so I'm just getting around to reporting on my orchiectomy. Bottom line: no more Lupron. Ever. Testosterone now <5. Hot flashes short and mild. Cold flashes not a problem. Procedure was straightforward and done at Strong Hospital here in Rochester, NY. I do wish

Hairy question
Just wanted to know if anyone here has experienced something like what I am going through. Over the past several months, my hair has been growing back on my head. However I now have lost almost all of my pubic hair to the point where I have only 5 or 6 hair on my pubic area (like when puberty first

Does Lupron compromise immune system?
Thinking of getting third COVID shot, not sure if being on ADT for prostate cancer justifies doing so. Have had 6 three month shots thus far. Is my immune system compromised?

PSA going up after docetaxel and zytiga
Mike was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in April 2019. He did a month of firmagon and has been on lupron since. In June 2019 he started 6 treatments of docetaxel and his psa went down but two months later it was rising again. He was entered in a trial where Zytiga was added to his treatments

Hello all. I have reached a point that I have some new decisions to make. Based on my last PSMA scan from UCLA I have some activity in upper torso lymph nodes causing PSA to rise. Lupron and Aberiterone have been losing there effectiveness. My OC has suggested Chemo should be the next step. He wants

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

Update on Xtandi and me
Hi all. Just thought I would drop a line to let people and especially newbies know that they can be hopeful for the future. Just had latest PSA while on Xtandi for 21 months now. PSA value now at .21. Started at 8.5 in Nov 2019 when Casodex failed. Been 5 years on this journey at Stage 4 with 3 bone

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
