Update

Hi all:

It has been a while but I am still around and 8+ months into this journey, I am still undetectable while on Firmagon and 50mg daily dose of Casodex.

I generally feel well with the exception of HDT fatigue and minor hot flashes which I barely notice. The monthly dose of Firmagon and the injection site pain for a couple days afterwards sucks but the alternative is worse. I am tempted to go on a once every 3 month dose of Lupron next dosage due date in September and wonder what some of you may think of this after having great success on Firmagon.

My Doc tells me that Lupron does the same thing but he will leave the decision up to me.

Hope you are well

I received a six month injection of Lupron three weeks ago and had no issues around the injection site (left cheek) but have minor hot flashes, some tiredness later in the day, very minor depression at times (which I attribute to the drug - I'm usually a very upbeat guy.)

geop,
That is great news, You appear to be doing excellent on the Firmagon. I will be following you online because you also have mets, as I do. Could I ask where you are being treated at and what area of the country do you live in? Take care and keep the faith,
