scottbeammeup, there are alternatives to Lupron. They are all terrible, but Lupron has an extra devastating side effect of depression. There is a way out of this and you don't have to be cheerful about it. Prostate cancer alone is depressing enough.
You may have made it clear to your family and friends that you'd like them to leave you alone. That is quite honestly what I would want. I would want them all to just go away.
If you haven't informed your provider of the depresssion and anxiety ( I'm assuming your rapid heart rate is anxiety). It isn't sufficient to tell the nurse. It needs to be in your chart.
You don't mention if you had nodal involvement. Are there any numbers after the N following the Gleason 7 T2b. And have you had genetic testing of the tumor itself. Those genetics would give you the likelihood of metastasis and the wisdom of such a long application of antiandrogen. One of the tests is Decipher. It is done on the biopsy sample already extracted, so all you have to do is request it.
You might get a bone scan. Bone loss is another gift from antiandrogens like Lupron.
You might temporarily find another gym.
Sorry.
Keep writing here. It helps all of us. And may offer you something.
