Trenantone Is just Lupron with another name. Did they give you Casodex (Biclutamide) first? You don’t want to take Lupron without taking Casodex or Firmagon first. That can cause a testosterone flare that can make your cancer worse.

You might ask your doctor about this.

Jeff, can you please explain that protocol and if it is always the case, or only when one is preparing for RP it is better to take Casodex first ? What is the difference between Lupron and Casodex / Firmagon ?

@jeffmarc I have been on Bicalutamide for 30 days now and just got my prescription renewed for another 30 days. My Trenantone shot will be next week.
