The longer you are on Lupron, the more likely you are to experience these effects that are caused by both Lupron and no or extremely low testosterone.
As awful as these side effects are, they are still better than uncontrolled metastasis of prostate cancer to your bones, heart and brain!

While on Lupron I went anemic big time. Lipids remained fine. Fatigue, shrinkage both areas, 1 grade 1 hot flash and lower energy were my side effects. Changed to Orgovyx after 3 months and most of the same except my anemia corrected itself back into the normal and after 3 months LDL rose on Orgovyx. I had blood work done by primary prior to starting for a baseline, after 3 months showing anemia which really sucked, and one day after stopping ADT at 6 months with higher LDL. Not if this is the normal difference between the two drugs but an interesting comparison.

I meant lungs, not heart although it could spread to the heart as well.
