I have aggressive prostate cancer. I started this journey in December of 2014. I started with 1 Casodex shot then a month later a 6 month Lupron shot. The cancer had spread in to my bladder but receded by surgery time. In July of 2015 I had a prostatectomy. I have stage 4 cancer. In the summer of 2016 I had 35 radiation treatments. In sprIng of 2019 I had an additional 25 radiation treatments. I have been on Lupron for all this time except 6 months before 2nd series of radiation. I was told that I would probably be on Lupron for 2 years at a time then off for a while and then on again as Lupron seems to treat the cancer better this way. I am currently taking Zytiga and prednisone in addition to the Lupron shots. I also get a Prolia shot every 6 months as the Lupron seems to leach calcium from the bones. I have all the typical side effects from the Lupron but it beats the alternative. I am doctoring in Mayo at Rochester and feel very confident that my health care team are on top of things.
