I have been on Lupron for 22 years. In the beginning, PSA rose a tad , but by combining the Lupron with Casodex, I was quickly in remission. Within a few months, I was off the Casodex and. have been on just Lupron ever since with little to no side effects. Hot flashes vanished long ago. Is Lupron no longer presented as an option?

I'm 55. Diagnosed with PCa and mets to hip, L5 and sacrum in January 2023. I'm on abiraterone and Prednisone daily, with a lupron shot every 3 months. I get hot flashes occasionally but they are such a minor side effect for me. I don't have any side effects from the lupron shot other than the expected minor pain from the injection. My PSA was originally 359 and it's been around .11 for the past 6 months. I'm stable and generally feeling great.
