Excellent point. My experiences with short-term reactions to the monthy Firmagon shots wouldn't necessarily translate to everyone, any more than other side-effects do.

I'm getting closer to 4 years on ADT + Apalutamide, and I'll mention — confined strictly to my own experience, of course — that I had no regrets even when I was on the Firmagon injections.

These treatments are why I was still around to see my daughter's Ph.D. hooding ceremony (graduation) this weekend. The side effects aren't ideal, but I've gotten used to them, and I still live a full and joyful life.
