I have been on Lupron for over nine years. I am a patient at Mayo Clinic. In recent months, they were having supply issues with Lupron. Consequently, Mayo Clinic has converted over to Eligard. Eligard injection is administered SubQ & is extremely painful and the pain lingers for up to two hours post injection. I will dread getting this injection every three months for the rest of my life. A subcapsular orchiectomy is a simple procedure that can be done in the office then I wouldn’t have to get any more injections going forward. Just considering it at this point.
