Welcome, @joeck. You're right. Personal convenience of travel and daily treatments is a contributing factor when choosing treatments that offer similar efficacy.
Do you continue with Kegel exercises? How are you doing now, one year later?

1 year later -
Just got back from visit w urologist. PSA finally down to < 0.008, i.e. non-detect!
I've been on Lupron for a year with many of the common side effects, mostly minimal and better than having cancer. We are now suspending Androgen Deprivation Therapy at least temporarily. We will monitor PSA and re-evaluate need for ADT or other treatment if the level goes back up.
Erectile dysfunction is still 100% (despite various efforts) but hoping that the return of some testosterone will help that.
Urinary incontinence is still minimal. I had suspended Kegel after 6 months but I am going to get back into it. I need assorted exercises anyway though I am a fairly active 73 year old.
