Lupron Treatment Duration: How long were you on it?

I had the same Gleason score back in 2007 at the age of 63. was treated with two Lupron shots and 42 radiation treatments. To this day I have endured ED. Tried Viagra, Cialis and all prescription drugs as well as numerous non prescription, including penis injections. Today with a mixture of those drugs I can get about an 85 % erection and can only maintain for a short period with penetration being impossible. Back in 2007 this was the best way to go. For some. Unfortunately for me I fell in that 1-3% category where what can go wrong did. I still have hope for something to work. However, I have two doctor friends who in the past three years used a combination of seeds and minimal radiation treatment. Neither one of them has encountered any ED problems. Good luck to those of you who are dealing with Prostate Cancer.

Welcome ednh. Sixty-three is much too soon to have to deal with ED. You're not alone. You may wish to join these discussions:
