i have had similar experience,,,76 years old, went through radiation ( 39 visits) only missed one day at my gym. You got that right about subjective opinions. I have been doing the lupron for a year now. PSA .01 for about 10 months. I can tolerate the lupron, however my oncology clinic insist I go for one of the high end . dangerous ' treatments' called apalutamide it almost killed me with side effects, seriously . There were things that were never mentioned .Then they wanted me to go to xtandi .Upon doing some research I discovered xtandi is just as dangerous the warning was referring to Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy . This happens to be the exact ' side affect' I experienced w erleada. The oncologist did not even know that !!!!!My point to everyone is do your homework before taking their word for it.I live in Fairbanks Alaska ,kind of a third world country with marginal medical resources.
