That is great news! Unfortunately, my Oncologist told me I missed my chance by not having the radiation done before I started hormone therapy. Is it possible there is that much of a difference between Relugolix and Lupron. I guess I have more homework to do.

Yeah, makes you wonder why they don’t tell you before you start the therapy so you can avoid it in the first place! It’s not exactly a side effect that most men wouldn’t want to have to deal with after all.
Relugolix is a gonadotropin suppressing agent just like Lupron. It’s really new, so I don’t know a whole lot about how much more effective, if at all, it is than Lupron. In my opinion the best thing about it is that it’s an oral drug and doesn’t have to be injected.

Zolodex works
