If you have to have Lupron, it is very damaging; for those who don't have an expert care team, you need to know about some simple ways to reduce the damage:

Thanks for posting this video. It is one that men facing treatment should see. One question is the impact difference between short term use of ADT and long-term use. I was on 18 month treatment in conjunction with radiation. My brother had 6 month treatment but I know men with metastatic cancer who are on long-term treatment. It's been 2.5 years since the end of my treatment and I no longer have any noticeable side effects. I have an annual checkup this Spring and will ask about the co-treatment options. I did have an infusion of reclast to deal with bone loss, but told return of testosterone would solve issue.
