I am thisisit66, I have had prostate cancer since 2006 and it was getting to the point that I had to do something. I also have Stage V kidney failure and have been on PD dialysis for 4 years. I have been wanting to get a kidney transplant but I had to get the prostate treated. I am 76 years old and until I started the Lupron, considered myself to be in good shape. I had radiation treatment for the prostate then started a regimen of Lupron. First two or three month treatments, then a 6 month treatment - since I had been doing so well. The 6 month treatment KICKED my butt. Took my muscle strength, any stamina that I may have had, and made be exhausted all the time. My PSA had dropped like a rock but the cost has been huge. After a year of treatment, I am thinking about stopping them but I have not consulted my urologist. I feel like a shriveled old man now and I hope I can recover. The ED really has me down and I don't think that is going to recover.

I am wondering how other men have recovered after treatment. This thread has given me some good info but I would like to read how many other men have done.

Thank you, thisisit
