@vjlvpjalways, at face value, your comment about side effects having subsided after 4 months of Eligard and radiation therapy. But you are concerned.

I'm moved your message to this discussion so you can connect with @stebro @rxharleydude @kujhawk1978 @russ153 @redroadtraveler, who have experience with Eligard and perhaps radiation.

@vjlvpjalways, what is your PSA now? What is your main concern?

On the surface none of this seems concerning. But, I have to ask - Is this your first treatment or salvage treatment? Have you had any other treatment? You don't mention surgery or radiation.
And, what was your Gleason score when you were first diagnosed?
