Your story is almost identical to mine. Although I was not able to get the PSMA scan. I agree with your comment on Lupron. The side effects are horrible. I would recommend you stay the course however. Lupron is just extending your life in hopes that some miracle drug is released. Relish in the fact that your are still alive

You have left out a lot of info so difficult to answer your question. Was the cancer that was found treated with radiation? Was it in an area that could receive radiation? Before my reoccurrence cancer was found I received intermittent Lupron giving my body time to recover some and feel better. I too HATE LUPRON. It is nasty stuff and I have made a decision to quit it for the time being.
