PSA - 17.1, are Lupron injections necessary?

I Hi just been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in my lymph notes. I started on my medication it’s Bicalutamide 50mg. I’ll be starting on my injections on the 5th of June. Just wondering does anybody know what sort of side-effects I may occur or what other questions I should be asking my doctor. The doctor told me that he doesn’t know actually whereabouts it has travelled to. I will have an MRI scan in a couple of weeks to determine that. Any thoughts or feedback would be much appreciated let’s keep on fighting the good fight. Thank you for reading my post.

More clinical information may help the forum respond.
How was it determined the PCa was in your lymph nodes, did you have surgery and they did a PLND, if so what did the pathology report say...or did you have imaging, if so, with what and what were the results? Ther e is other clinical history important in answering your question, how old, any health issues, how long did your medical team say you would be on the ADT...
In the meantime,do a literature search on doublet or triplet therapy. Here's one link, you can find others. As a side note, based on what you describe in your post, sinds like monotherapy, if so, I would consider revisiting that treatment plan with your medical team, seems like "old school."
