I have had prostate cancer since 2009. I have been on lupron since 2011. It has kept my PSA level below one. I am now 73 years old in my PSA is now at 1.8. Just last week, my doctor put me on Abirateone acetate to reduce my PSA level. So Lupe has been working for me all the way up until now and I have not complained once.
good luck.

I had a Similar thing happen. Failed Lupron, PSA started rising, hello castrate resistance. I went on Casodex for 15 months But my PSA kept rising, went on Zytiga And it rose even more for the first nine months and then started going down, PSA was only undetectable one month in 2 1/2 years. Then I switched over to Orgovyx and Nubeqa And I’ve stayed undetectable for 33 months.
The side effects of Zytiga were not good. Gave me high blood pressure, Five afib Events and lots of hot flashes.
Watch Out for Zytiga. If it doesn’t work well for you switch over to one of the Major lutamides. I know people that have been on it many years With success, Others that like me had real problems with it. It can cause serious fatigue for some people.
Well, just some things to think about.
