Hey Pwitkin!
Have a Happy 70th Birthday! and make sure to keep posting so we can all CeleBrate Your 80th!!!!!!!! Keep on Going Brothers!
I had 25 EBRT, HIR and 2-1/4 years of Lupron Shots. I temporarily stopped the shots May '23; I am planning to start Lupron again after an 18 month break (tentatively; based upon PSA rise{has stayed at 0.03 down from 20.0}) in an attempt to "thread the needle" of recovering from the side effects of the Lupron and Bull-Fighting with the seeded prostate cancer cells to try to keep them "asleep" and not be stimulated into mutating into the most aggressive prostate cancer cell by using the Lupron for 2-1/4 years and 18 months break cycles, hopefully into my 100's. (Why not stay optimistic!?!)
I know I may be very foolish by having a break from the Lupron rather than just keep it flowing every three months.
A question for the Moderator of this posting site: Is there a central web address for all of the clinical trials in the U.S. related to PC and its metasis?

Jbuuck! Lupron has totally removed the gift of the Marriage Embrace, as well as my former great muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic capacity- I no longer jog marathons which diminished to walking 20 miles, which is now walking 6 miles at 2.75 - 3.0 mph, max. Muscle and joint pain is still present but has not been as delapitating where it had started to interfer with social interactions, not wanting or having the energy to talk or play cards, concentrate on conversations because of energy and focus on trying not to be in pain. From 230 lbs now 263 lbs (and I'm not a prospect as an NFL Linebacker!), brain fog still present (but I have stopped and asked for directions when driving!) Life has changed, but is still a magnificent and marvelous Gift from Our Creator. So I hope all of us who have been diminished in our physical sevice to others will still help others by praying for others and our world. God Bless you all and yours.

Thank you sharing🤗 I am a caregiver: just to make sure I understood
your PSA levels started going up and that is why you are taking a break as well as due to side effects from Lupron? Wonderful optimistic attitude take care and God bless you many more years of life.
