It sounds as though you are doing everything right. You only have five months to go, so look ahead with optimism! Wishing you the best outcomes.

At age 83 I had to stop Lupron after just 4 months, or I thought I would die because the pain was so intense for 24 hours/day. It got even worse after stopping Lupron and only began to get better after about 14 months. Severe headaches, aching bones and muscles, muscle cramps, and of course the hot and cold flashes. Undetectable PSA but my testosterone has only recovered to 125. No libido or erections. I get checked again next week and would like to find out if there is a way to raise my testosterone to end the side effects.
