Welcome @mitzkidz. Hormone therapy is a common therapy for prostate cancer. I have moved your post to this existing discussion:
- Prostate cancer treated with Leuprolide https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/prostate-ancer-treated-with-leuprolide/

Hormone therapy or androgen deprivation therapy, also called ADT, uses surgery or medicines to lower the levels of androgens made by the testicles. ADT medications include:
- Leuprolide (Lupron, Eligard)
- Goserelin (Zoladex)
- Triptorelin (Trelstar)
- Leuprolide mesylate (Camcevi)

You'll find many discussions about ADT in the prostate cancer group. What questions or concerns do you have about hormone therapy?
