@9876, members here on Connect often recommend getting a second opinion, especially when you have a complex diagnosis or you want to confirm or consult on available treatment options. Mayo Clinic researchers looked into the value of second opinions. You may be interested in reading this:

All the best with your appointments today. Let us know how you're doing with starting Firmagon (degarelix).

In response to the Firmagon treatment. So far very little side effects after the third week. Small hot flashes that do not last more than a minute. It did do some weird things with my thinking soon after the shot. It is hard to explain but it changed my disposition somewhat. I felt more anxious and more tired at the same time. That seems to have gone away, but I do seem more tired. All that aside minimal side effects so far. I was told my next treatment will be Leupron. Will see how that goes.
