@readandlearn I too was on two stints of Lupron (9 months, and then later one year without any noticeable major side effects. Once while waiting for my quarterly shot there was another patient waiting for his shot, expressing dread, knowing from past experience the dose is going to kick the crap out of him. Until then I didn’t know how lucky I was.

One reason doctors may prescribed Lupron or Eligard is the cost. Most insurance will cover the injections, but oral meds are expensive.
I’m on Orgovyx + Nubequa now with a $2000 Medicare Rx supplement copay cap.

Lupron is not exactly cheap. My health provider started charging me $400 for a six-month shot of Lupron. That was 20% of the $2,000 billed amount.

That may be considered cheap since six months. Check this out

Makes Orgovyx seem reasonable.
