Well, it has been 2 weeks since I got 22.5 mg of Lupron Depot, deposited into my right buttock. I was anticipating the backseat driver to takeover my life. I was thinking, my life, going forward, would be like sitting in a driverless car and wondering when the AI- based driver is going to crash.
Well so far so good. No major reactions yet! Feels like steering is handled by a nice Uber driver!

I have been exercising regularly for the last couple of weeks by walking/running for an hour daily on the treadmill. I have been using the Activity app to keep track of the exercise minutes and to keep up the motivation.

Just because I got Lupron under my belt, I can’t rest yet. My lifeboat is getting rocked again tomorrow!

I am going to start Chemo with Docetaxel( Taxotere). My oncologist recommended this therapy in place of taking Zytiga and Prednisone pills life long. If I go through this - once every 3 weeks, six session chemo, I don’t have to take those pills I believe.

I would be interested to know your experience with Docetaxel.
