Hi Perry, I just had my first dose of Firmagon on Aug 6. 2 shots in the abdomen, same as you. I still don’t have any side effects yet that I am aware of. I have had Covid for the last 6 days and I do feel the effects of that. It made me feel better to start the Firmagon. I’m normally a very anxious person (treated with Lexipro) but PCa has put me over the edge. Starting radiation later in September.

I'm the same way also. I suggested to start the ADT to my Urologist because of the rapid PSA bump I had and also because of the indeterminate rib lesion. I am getting my pelvic area mapped next week and will start treatment to bed and pelvic lymph nodes approximately 4 weeks later. 28 treatments I think. After this 8 treatments of SBRT to the rib. The risk of not doing the rib outweighs the risk of radiating it even though no one has confirmed it is cancer or not. I pray it's not. I haven't noticed Firmagon side effects other than my stomach being sore and red at injection sites. I went to gym today and played golf yesterday with no ill effects. Mentally I am in a little better place now that I started treatment for this unexpected surprise of BCR.
