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.

Thanks for the reply. One oncologist told me at the beginning of radiation that I would also be taking Lupron (later switched to Eligard by Mayo) for 36 months - "if I could handle it." I asked what was meant by that and now I know. There is no way I can continue to live like this for 36 months. I hear about men going many years on ADT and it not affecting them like it affects me. It's interesting how it affects everyone differently. I'll certainly ask about monthly injections to see if that's a viable option. Thanks for the tip!
