@wwsmith I suppose that a testosterone boost can be fun; but, if a tumor that flares happens to be near the spine (or some other critical anatomical structure), that boost/flare might not be such a good thing (which is why they use Casodex).

Though there are no hard and fast rules on this, guys that I’ve spoken to say that once the time on Eligard is set to expire, to expect about 50% more time for the ADT to leave the system, testosterone levels to bounce back, and side-effects to subside. (My 6-month Eligard experience lasted 3-1/2 months past the end of that 6-month period.)
