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

When you are having side effects that really make you uncomfortable you have to be proactive about getting something done.
You could tell your doctor that somebody has been told by their Genito Urinary oncologist that this is a good solution And you would like to try it. In my case, it was a really incredible solution to the problem. A real benefit of it is that you don’t get gynecomastia from it.
I got the shots for five years, every three months. I had one about six months ago when the hot flashes were getting too much with Orgovyx. Fortunately, I found another way to stop them.
