Lupron yeah or Lupron nay that is the question.

Thank You! Thank You! for raising this question. In May I will be at the 42 month mark of Lupron. I HATE IT!!! It is always the “go to” drug all the doctors want to go to. My treatments have been intermittent so I know how much better I feel off it but every time my PSA rises it is always what they want to give me with whatever other treatments are being offered. MODERATORS please get involved with this. Ask Dr.Kwon for his expertise in this. And Doctor Davis for they are talking about giving me another shot in May. I DO NOT want it but I do not want to be a non compliant patient and if it will help cure me? I was told by doctor Kwon when I first came I was curable but the continued Lupron is taking a toll on me. Help!

Hi Round5, volunteer mentor @auntieoakley is right. Mayo Clinic Connect is a forum for patients to connect with fellow patients and caregivers.
To discuss your treatment options with Drs Kwon and Davis, I suggest you send a message through the Mayo Clinic patient portal. Your quality of life is very important and that's why treatment decisions are arrived at by combining the doctors' medical expertise AND your needs and values.
Do you use and have access to the patient portal?

This forum isn’t really where the doctors get involved. This is for support and sharing of information with other patients, caregivers, and families. I think all the information you posted is valid. Those are exactly the reasons the doctor stated why he didn’t put my husband on it. I would hope you have a frank conversation with your doctor about how you feel.
