Must admit your side effects are quite unusual. I go to nine online meetings every month and never really hear people describe such extreme problems. Hopefully your rising testosterone is gonna resolve this for you.

As you probably noticed on here, your side effects are a lot more serious than almost anybody else describes. I do try to tell people that if they are over 80 it can be really tough on them. Getting on a drug like Nubeqa Alone and can keep the PSA undetectable and also reduce the side effects to almost nothing. If you have to go back on treatments, see if you can talk to your doctor about having that option. I know a lot of people in their 80s doing that, solo Nubeqa.

My urologist seems determined to only follow standard and well-established guidelines which means radiation treatment followed by 18 months or more of Lupron. Hopefully my PSA will remain low enough that I will not need any further treatment. I cannot risk another round of Lupron.
