I have been on monthly Lupron injections for 21 years. I’m alive! Hormone therapy works if you are sensitive to the deprivation. Within two years, ALL hormones associated sexual desire intimacy, and the ability to feel “in love” are gone. I don’t notice this loss - it’s what the deprivation does. The real loser is my wife. She has stuck with me. She is the real cancer survivor, not me! As we age, we are one another’s caregiver. She is my best friend. I couldn’t live without her and I don’t think she could live without me. Sex is simply not what it’s held up to be! There’s so much more to a healthy relationship.
