Honestly I do not like the Lupron. It is what was recommended for treatments. I have had 2 of the 3 month injections. The 2nd injection hit me hard. My muscles are sore. My bones ache. My libido went straight to zero. Testicles are a lot smaller than usual. I do have a little bit of the "Hot Flashes" but not too bad. This is taking it's toll on me. I am very active and hands on. It doesn't take much to run out of energy, and my leg muscles get sore and tired very quickly. Hopefully this all starts to recover after this last shot wears off.

I am 68… just diagnosed in July 2022…. 3+4 Gleason… Was hoping to do AS but Decipher “high risk” grade leading to treatment…Going to go the SBRT route but will not allow ADT at this time as PSMA Pet scan confirmed cancer is contained within the prostate…

I am 56 and diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4/3) in September 2022. Had RP on November 3, Pathology looked good, nothing found in 6 lymph nodes or seminal vesicles. Now, awaiting my 3-month post RP PSA check Even though the post RP pathology looked good, I am quite anxious for my PSA check, praying for PSA to be undetectable/near 0.
Question, has anyone been in my situation (clear pathology post RP), only to be surprised with increasing PSA?

Happy New Year and hope everyone had a wonderful X-Mas/Holiday Season.

I had one cycle every three weeks times five I was scheduled for six but they tested me after three and said that it was working everything look good but I’d be on it the rest of my life or till I can’t tolerate it then I came to Florida for the winter and changed over time Moffitt cancer center down and the doctor took me off of the chemo and started me on the radium 223 treatment which is Xofigo

I was diagnosed at 57 after four years seeing doctors. Only the biopsy showed positive-all Gleason 10+
I am 68 now. Many different treatments endured.
