I had terrible hot flash and sweating problems with Lupron. After A year my oncologist recommended a depo-provera shot every three months.
They almost completely stopped my hot flashes and night sweats. You should ask your doctor about it.

Hi,
thanks for your information. "depo-provera shot every three months." - My docs have never mentioned anything to provide any relief to terrible hot flash and sweating problems. In fact, I just met with dr. yesterday and basically reinforced what I repeated from this blog in that many patients indicate that they have dealt with the ill effects of Lupron for Years. ugh. Still no help and at 74, very little chance of rebounding from the damage that Lupron has done to my body. But he is quite pleased that my 0.064 PSA and 6% Testosterone level will keep the cancer from returning. So, any other detail on the depo-provera shot is much appreciated. Wishing you the best on your journey and a speedy recovery to resume a comfortable level of "normalcy". rlm

Thanks again Jeff. I have just started to feel somewhat better after 4 months but if improvement does not continue, I will do just as you said.
