Why would you take Lupron? It decreases production of testosterone? You should ask your oncologist to fully explain the use of that drug. I would be interested in the explanation. Good luck.

Lupron can be use for many reasons and one of them is to shut down the ovaries so they can stop producing estrogen. The exemestane is her case would of stop the production of estrogen on the rest of her body.

Lupron shut down ovaries and stop them from producing estrogen so there is less estrogen to fuel the growth of hormone receptor positive breast cancer - my cancer was estrogen positive.
