Should a person who had a stroke from a brain bleed be treated with Eligard for prostate cancer? If they are unable to speak and paralyzed on one side.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

You really need to speak to a doctor about this question.

Too many variables.

@eve1923, I pulled your important question into a discussion. I'm sorry that you and your husband are dealing with the consequences of a brain bleed and stroke as well as prostate cancer. I agree with @jeffmarc that medication questions are best asked of your husband's neurologist and oncologist.

Was your husband being treated with Eligard for prostate cancer when the brain bleed happened? How are YOU doing?

Something to ask the doctor about.

On the Eligard product “Important Safety Information” page, some of their warnings may touch on this: https://eligard.com/important-safety-information/
