On lupron for 15 yrs now zoladex 2-3 yrs. Tremendous muscle atrophy (sarcopenia). Hot flashes resolved over a short 1-2 yr. period. Lupron and all ADT drugs do the same but also the only treatment that has done anything over 20 yrs of stage 4 disease.
Thank you. My story is very similar to yours..Stage4 (to start), Lupron, chemo (Docetaxel), and radiation. Twelve months later clear but doc wants me to continue Lupron 2-3 more years if possible. Facing same decision on lifestyle. I have read that monthly injections have less side effects. Am getting switched to those starting with my next dose of Lupron.
