Hi John, my name is Alan and I'm 78 YOA. I've been a prostate cancer patient for 10 years, Still managing it quite well and not too many side effects, I've been on Lupron for 3 years now and it is keeping the PSA low and my testosterone is essentially at zero and of course that is one of the side effects but still leading quite a decent life. More info than you asked for but gives you a little bit of a profile.

Hi Alan,
What treatments did you take for 7 years before starting on Lupron? It is good to know that Lupron is working well for you and you’ve been on if for 3 years.
It is my understanding that Lupron will work for 5 years and then we have to go on something else. I would like to know is there anyone who has been on Lupron for more than 5 years?
Zytiga along with Lupron will extend this 5 period by another 18 months or so is what I have heard.
