Unfortunately, the net effect on body mass is probably the same as being on Lupron. I am 83 years old, and I’ve been able to maintain my body mass pretty much the same over the past couple of years I exercise a lot, as much as my body will let me do in an effort to maintain some degree of muscle mass, however, age doesn’t help, so being 83 works against me as does negligible testosterone levels from the orchiectomy.
It’s interesting, my PSA levels have not fluctuated up nearly as much after the orchiectomy as they did when I was on Lupron. Not sure what accounts for that but my oncologist felt pretty good about it. After my last PSA, he decided to put off other treatment options for a couple of months, pending another bone, scan, and CT imaging. Anyway, whatever the good Lord decides to give me, I will take!
