@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……

@brianjarvis Hey Brian! Thanks for the response. I wish I'd been told that! haha It was recommended that I do core work. Nothing about cardio. About 3 months in on my first shot, I went to the track to run. Now, mind you before all this started I loved to jog. I got a 1/2 mile in and it felt like I ran a 10k. Is there some in Eligard that just kills the ability to run?
Glad to hear about your story. That's awesome!!
