Degarelix vs Relugolix?

2½ years on Degarelix, then one year on Relugolix (so far).

No comparison: my quality of life is massively improved without the monthly injections, swelling, rashes, and 2–3 days of flu-like symptoms. My other side effects, like hot flushes and fatigue, also seem diminished, but that might just be my body building up a tolerance after several years on ADT.

Note that I'm also taking Apalutamide (Erleada), since my cancer is metastatic.

Thanks, North My PCa is metastatic as well and I forgot to mention that I'm also taking Abiraterone (Zytiga) along with 5mg prednisone. I was taking 1.0 gram daily but my Onc dropped it to just 250 mg daily taken with a lo-fat breakfast citing a new study that suggests the lower dose regime works just as well. Lo-fat anything has never really been part of my diet plan but I'm adapting. 🙂
