Issues with ProACT incontinence value

My father also had Lupron shots. I remember the day he told me Lupron stopped working. I did not really fully understand it since I had no prostate cancer knowledge at that time. He died a couple years later in a lot of pain from prostate cancer, at 88.
I never noticed him having any negative effects from Lupron.
As I mentioned, I had six months shots for six years, Never had any issues. I stopped it when I was 75 and switched to orgovyx. I switched only because it was $1600 cheaper a year to be on Orgovyx.
Is it possible your father’s negative reaction to Lupron was related to some other medical issue he was experiencing from the cancer.
I have attended advanced prostate cancer meetings weekly for four or five years. I never heard anybody complain about anything close to what you are saying happened to your father.

As a vet I have no idea with the cost of meds. I’ve heard of meds being close to a million dollars. If I need then the VA gives them to me.
About my Dads reaction to Lupron [ I’m not a doctor, however I think it was the 6 month dose in one shot. This is why I opted for the one month shot. My experience was some of Dads side effects for two days from my first shot give in the fatty part of my arm. There was a hard lump in the shot of injection. The second shot was in my belly and I had virtually no side effects and I tarted feeling peppy . My third shot I felt like I was being treated with pep meds. My sleep got better. The frequency of urination went from every 2 hours to twice a night. My daily ruinations trip was up to 4 mourns. Now I’m up to 6 to 6.5 hours and the strength of my urine was splashing on the top of the bowl and no stopping and starting. My exercise routine went from a 4 mile walk to 4 miles twice a day and occasional jog.
But I see muscle shrinkage in my arm and legs. But worst of all I have uncomfortable chest discomfort and never before edema in my feet and lower legs which someone said is an indication of congestive heart failure
This non doctor changes my meds according to what works. So after reading the pedesterone 1 a day, I changed to one a week after the article that once a week results in building muscles which once a day breaks muscles down. I feel better with the once pill a week
I’m makes more changes and have a few ideas that I’ll talk about at a later date
