thanks ! yes those explanations do read between the lines. I am puzzled why there has to be a third year of lupron. I cannot think of any reason to stretch it out What the lupron can do is provide a stable metric for the PSA, so we knew where it is all at. My opinion . Is that too simple because I can't think of a good reason to continue a third year of it. It is wearing me down, sapping my remaining strength . I appreciate your perception.
