PSA - 17.1, are Lupron injections necessary?

I think that ADT with lupron is necessary. I was on it and Erleada for 13 months. The meds had manageable side effects ( mostly fatigue and hot flashes ) but they did me a lot of good. My PSA is now .01 and the doctors monitor me every 3 months and my cancer is presently sleeping. If it wakes up I suspect that they will initially put me back on the same treatment. Lupron is part of my plan to have a quality of life for as long as possible. I am 76. Good luck !

Don't get them I got a 6 month shot and 15 months later my testosterones levels have not returned. I has ruined my quality of life.

Did you take anything with the lupron such as Abiraterone,I agree I could live with this the rest of my fatigue and hot flashes, or a cheap price to play for keeping you alive. Mine was under control but now it went to aggressive cancer in new areas so I’ve had chemo now I’m back on radiation. Hang in there Dave.
