Stage 4 metastasis prostate cancer: Anyone had Lupron shots?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Jul 31, 2023 | Replies (205)Comment receiving replies
I have prostate cancer that has spread to the bones...I'm at 4 months since diagnosis. They gave me the drug Casodex for a month, then started me on the drug 'Erleada'..
I have been on Erleada for 2 months and have over whelming fatigue and severe diarrhea...Anyone else have these symptoms? I was trying to keep active with cycling and walking, but the fatigue and diarrhea are just draining me..
Do the symptoms get better? For me, they seem to be getting worse. My Urologist said to stop taking the Erleada for 2 weeks to see what happens. I asked if this was okay, and he said "I think so".....Shouldn't he KNOW so??? Has anyone else quit taking Erleada for 2 weeks?

I am so sorry cal. I am Stage 3 being diagnosed a few months ago. Live in Thailand and medical is very good here. I have perineural invasion too. My surgery date is Aug. 3 to cut the little bastard out and then radiation soon after for 4 months. Am on Lupron shot. I have side effects but coping with it all. Have they cut the prostate out and it seems if it is at the bones you need to have it blasted with radiation big time now. Fuc= ing cancer even goes up the dick in the nerves. I can tell you at 70, life is fleeting now so enjoy every minute now.

I was on Casodex for just 2 weeks. then zytiga and eligard for 6 Mo. Only minor symptoms. I'm 73, and way past man-o-pause. it might have something to do with it.
