Same issues with Lupron. It destroys every organ in your body and statistically only increases survival by 5%.

@pesquallie
This is just not true at all. I was on Lupron for six years, It didn’t destroy any organs in my body. For the first 2 1/2 years, it did keep me undetectable.

I think people will find that progression free survival (PFS) is extended by using ADT. I know in my case it gave me at least two extra years of overall survival.

I don’t think that 5% number applies to everybody.
