Undetectable again!
Been on
Lupron
3 years, and recently PSA started to go up again. 3 weeks after starting Daralutamide PSA is undetectable again. Pretty happy with where I am after 12 years. Keep on fighting guys! Hugh

Please share your personal experience and references, but check your biases at the door
Someone on this site "cited" very minimal benefit from Docetaxel and presented
Lupron
as more harm than good. I'm 3+ years into my 3rd remission after Docetaxel and
Lupron
. I hated
Lupron
, but if it helped stall my cancer while I had other treatments, then I'm happy.

Lupron to Eligard switch
Due to shortage of
Lupron
, my MO switched from 3 month
Lupron
to 3 month Eligard. It was given on 9-8-20 in the fatty part of the arm and I developed a lump shortly after the size of a kidney bean under the skin at the application point.

Lupron shot into bladder?
I had a
Lupron
shot two days ago and I noticed right after the shot I urinated a small amount of blood. This was the first time I had a
Lupron
shot in my "tummy". Previously it was in my buttocks.

Your advice on which radiotherapy treatment to choose next
Unfortunately, due to being on
Lupron
and Erleada for more than 3 months, I do not qualify for this randomized trial and they can only offer the 5 session SABR treatment to the prostate.

CRPC at 58 - next step
I currently remain on
Lupron
and Zometa injections. MO wants a PET scan before discussing the decision about what treatment is next - but obviously there are a few clear choices. Zytiga / Yonsa vs Xofigo are really the two ones I’m expecting. My questions: 1.I’m CRPC now at this point.

If PSA is undetectable for over 2 years?
So, why continue quarterly
Lupron
shots and daily Abiraterone Acetate (Zytiga) with Prednisone? Why my Dana-Farber Oncologist keeps kicking the can (cancer) down the road, should I expect more for quality of life consideration?

I don’t know where to go, who to ask and what to do in regards to my dad who is on hospice w/ metastatic prostate cancer...
He saw an oncologist and was put on Xtandi and
Lupron
right away. He was able to walk again and gained back some weight ( lost over 50 pounds). His PSA dropped to 0.6 (detected at 420) and his bone mets didn’t light up anymore ( bone mets all over the body).

Why did they let me off the ADT hook so easily?
Like if I hadn't bitched about it a little I would just be on
Lupron
for the full 2 crappy years. No mention was ever made previously of cutting it short.

When to start cialis
I'm one month into a 4-month
Lupron
shot. I'm waiting for an appt for HDR brachy with Dr. Hsu, then 5 weeks radiation in Reno. I'm still able to perform at weekly date night, with Viagra. My question is, how do I know when to start nightly low dose Cialis to prevent shrinkage?

Unusual soreness from Lupron shot
I had a 4 month
Lupron
shot two days ago and I can hardly walk. It is somewhat better today than yesterday but still very painful. I have had 3
Lupron
shots before but never had such pain last so long. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Reaching Castrate Resistance? Increase in PSA,ALP.
My dad completed chemo in Jan and was on
Lupron
+ Casodex for next 3 months till April. It’s been 4 months he discontinued Casodex and is on
Lupron
only. I now have noticed a increase in both PSA and ALP.

What is the most accurate Test/Scan to do when one has Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer?
I have been on Eligard/
Lupron
+ Erleada for the past 12 months my PSA has been undetected (<0.1) for the last 6 months. Last week I did both a Bone scan and a CT scan. The Bone scan did not show any mets in the skeletal system.
