@northoftheborder Yep, ADT is just different for everyone. For me(2/3 done) the biggest issue is weight gain. Hot flashes too for sure but I'm ok with that.
@vancouverislandhiker your numbers are terrific! Sorry to hear about your dad. The "war chest" we have these days is much larger like you said. I'm very positive about the future. God bless.

@dpayton Thankyou for those kind words dpatyon. I very much appreciate each word that you sent me. I think my numbers are OK and I think the doctors are not really too concerned about me. But that doesn't lessen my anxiety given my life experience and my father. Yes, I am thankful for all the research that has been done for the prostate cancer brotherhood. Thank you Sir for your kind words again and God bless you and your family. James from Vancouver Island .

@dpayton I probably would’ve had weight gain while I was on Eligard. But, my medical oncologist advised me before the first injection to start a robust resistance-training and cardio program.
So, I lifted weights 6 days/week, and also would either run 5Ks or swim laps for 35-45 minutes on alternating days. Actually lost 40 lbs (& 3 belt sizes). Hot flashes became mild warm flashes……
