I was on Lupron and Erleada for 13 months with Robo surgery in the 6 th month. The goal was to keep me alive. G9, CR, locally advanced. It not only worked but the surgery and the meds were manageable, but clearly I would not have done either but for this life threatening cancer. I am now 30 months post the treatment beginning, off of all drugs for 17 months, PSA .01. The manageable side effects were, hot flashes, sleep difficulties, loss of muscle and gained 30 lbs, slight brain fog, but as I said, these were manageable and not as difficult as many people have on chemo. My goal is to live as long as possible and reasonably free of pain. I am now 77. Good luck to you and to all.
