Lupron injections, how long? Who should be administering and following

Any weakness is probably from 6 years of Lupron vs getting off of it. It can take a while to recover testosterone (or may never happen) after 6 years at 78. That may have something to do with the 1-year wait. There are lots of companies that will write a lab request at either LabCorp or Quest. Can get uPSA+testosterone for $80 (sub regular PSA $36) at DrSays.com; lots of others for a few $$ more. These sites are cash pay, but expense is eligible for HSA. As long as testosterone is low the PSA will stay low since if he was castrate resistant his PSA would be higher.

I stopped taking Orgovyx in Oct 2024 after being on Lupron for six years and Orgovyx For nine months. I was 77. In seven months, my PSA came back to 50. It was going up 25% a month at that point. My oncologist wanted me to get back on it. I was also on Nubeqa And it kept my PSA undetectable the whole time.
It’s true that some people don’t get their testosterone back, I was surprised mine came back and so was my oncologist.
