Tom, certainly makes sense. After January perhaps ask oncologist if Orgovyx daily hormone pills could replace lupron. There are fewer side effects. Just a suggestion.

Thanks, Richard. I know several people on the forum have had good results and low or no side effects with Orgovyx. Fortunately, I'm one of the lucky ones who've had no side effects with Lupron (other than ED which everyone gets, and weight gain with my first round of Lupron six years ago).
So far, I've had no side effects with either the Abiraterone or Lupron, and have so far avoided additional weight gain.
Now it's just a question as to how long the drugs will be effective before the cancer becomes resistant!

@rwski79 Have you considered Estradiol patch in lieu of Orgovyx?
Even less SE’s with the same level of T suppression.
The only caveat is your history of cardiac issues; but any form of ADT can exacerbate that, so talk to your MO about the pros and cons. Best, phil
