After 2 years zolodex they added xtandi or enzymes 4k a month covered expect it to work average 18 most then something else

Psa back down fast

78 and appreciate life each day

Relugolix is the oral form of Degarelix ... the monthly sub-q injection. I was on Degarelix and Abiraterone+Prednisone for two years with minimal side effects other than hot flashes. After that two years I complained about the monthly injection (longish drive and pain at injection site) and my Doc switched me to Eligard (Lupron) every 3 months. I have had 2 of those injections and told the Doc, "No more!" Significant loss of stamina and aches and pains in glutes and hamstrings. So now I'm on a cancer med "vacation" but when I need to go back .... it'll hopefully be to Relugolix.
