I was on Eligard for three and a half years. Side effects were major but the benefits are tremendous. Keep taking it because if you respond, you may do pretty well. I took it with Xtandi for 26 of those months. Make sure to take vitamin D and calcium and a baseline bone density. Osteoporosis is possible if you are on ADT. Best to you.

I was diagnosed in November 2022 with Stage 4 with metastasised throughout my bones all the way up to my scull. Early days I was in so much pain that shifted from my back to my gut to my legs. Night sweats made for sleepless nights and the pain in the day was unbearable, Started Elligard in November and Xtandi two months ago. Virtually pain free within a week of starting Elligard and no real side effects from Xtandi other than swelling in my right foot. Calcium and Vitamin D every day. Are you still on Elligard, Cesar52?

Great to hear, I would like to stay on ADT as long as possible while avoiding radiation. My PSA and testosterone are undetectable. My cancer is regional and at this point can't be seen on any scans, that includes PSMA. My RAD therapist still wants to radiate.
