Need help with Lupron question
As some of you know I’m Gleason 3+4. Will have TURP in August and then 28 sessions of proton therapy starting in November. My close friend was diagnosed 4+3 shortly after. He’s being told by 3 oncologists (IMRT/proton) that it would be best to do 4 months of Lupron plus the radiation. Other testing

Hi guys! Heard about this forum from Allen Edel on another forum. He’s been super helpful. Completed my second week of radiation of an eight and a half week treatment schedule. Was going to get Proton therapy and went thru all the prep/procedures only to find out later that my insurance wouldn’t cover

I'm new here. I am the wife of the sweetest fellow I know. He has prostate cancer. Has anyone had proton beam therapy? It seems our insurance won't cover it because it is experimental???? I thought it had been around for a while.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Some of the common PPIs are Prilosec, Preacid, Nexium, and
Protonix
. However, these are usually prescribed because the individual's stomach acid levels are too high and the medication reduces the acids to a more normal level.

Heartburn, stomach medications
In doing some reading yesterday, I saw there is a lawsuit from users of Nexium,
Protonix
, Prilosec, and another I can’t temember. The medicines used for heartburn and stomach issues are linked to kidney damage. Just sharing the info.
