Great questions. Some I know and some not.
Last Lupron was 1/4/24.
Then only a PSA check in early April. Score was "negligible". I love that one.
Next PSA check will be at six month mark in October with only a Prolia shot to prevent bone loss side effect. I don't know what's happening there, good or bad. But I've had no bone problems whatsoever.
I'd also love to see the end of hot flashes but they are still with me even now some 6-months out. I've heard that it may take a year (more?) - but I sure hope not. My Med Oco said the time it takes for your body to clear out the Lupron is longer with greater age. Not a great time for me to be 77.
The fatigue is gone. I think it was linked to episodes of tachycardia - heart rate over 120/minute. Possibly due to Lupron, maybe. Those seem to be gone but I'll get a better report in about 2-weeks.
And hair loss was not a problem for me. My head is patchy bald already and I didn't miss the hair on my arms/legs.
Yeah, the hot flashes linger on. (I do take Paroxetine that reduces them somewhat.) But better than a flare up of PC !!!
Hang in there my friend.
