Where to take Leuprolide infusion? Arm or stomach?

I’ve been castrate resistant for six years. I did have one metastasis zapped on my spine. I’ve been undetectable for the last 20 months on Nubeqa and Orgovyx. 15 years with PC.
If I get another metastasis, I would get it zapped. I’ve already had surgery and salvage radiation.
The drugs we have now work quite well with people that are castrate resistant.
If you met me, you would have no idea I had cancer, I’m 77 and quite active.

Hi Jeff,
For some reason I had it in my head that if someone is castrate resistant they do not qualify for Nubeqa? I must be wrong on that. My father is 76 and has been fighting this beast since 2002. He's had surgery, radiation, monthly Lupron injections, more radiation, failed Zytiga due to an increase in liver enzymes, and is now castrate resistant and has a few metastases. His dr. is now recommending Pluvicto. If he tolerates that well they would also start him on Xtandi after the second infusion. He is the same way, you'd never know he has cancer if you met him. He is under Dr. Kwon's care team at Mayo. I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well, wishing you continued good health.
