I have not been in your position my PSA was 4.19 then without treatment at all it went down to 3.
I was on Lupron for six months and it ruined my life for a year. I am on testosterone therapy about a year, lost 40 pounds and feel great.
I am 65 and if I had to go back on Lupron I would start looking for nursing homes. It severely degraded my quality of life.

I agree.

I just finished a year on degarelix. I had to get monthly injections which I gladly chose over Lupron (once every 3 months.)

Looking back at the year I was on Lupron, I hit 5.4 miles walked per day for a month about halfway through my year on the drug. Somehow I forced myself to exercise but I recall feeling lousy mentally and physically.

Degarelix is no picnic but I had many days of 10 miles walked while on it.
