Thanks. I think I remember this comment, although my focus at that time was on Lupron effect on prostate cancer. This is very encouraging re. cancer treatment.. I'm glad to see it and I hope it continues. Re. your question to me, there has never been any discussion with my docs about how to deal with the "side effects" of Lupron. The focus is on treating the disease, as it should be. However, when treating a patient with such a powerful hormone, I would like to have had more discussion on how best to manage the side effects on the patient (assuming there is a "best").

In my last sentence, I meant to say “if the for.”
In my opinion, you would be better off with an oncologist, not urologist. Also, you must take control of your care. Do the research. Doctors these days are overwhelmed and often do not provide the necessary counseling.
Finally, play the cards you are dealt.
