Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I received a three month dose last November 20th and the effects are just now wearing off. Hot flashes and total loss of libido were the main side effects. Just had another PSA test and am awaiting the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Tom, The Lupron was to shrink the size of my prostate prior to brachytherapy. Mine was just over what the radiation oncologist considered optimum for the procedure. In the meantime, I reconsidered and decided to go on an active surveillance program instead. My numbers were PSA 4.9, Gleeson (3+3), one core of twelve with 5% involvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Tom, I came across this (below) about Lupron prior to EBRT and or seed implant. Also you should know that it often takes longer for the side effects to wear off than men are told by the docs. I have read that a single shot of Lupron can cost around $1,000. This says that for seed implantation a prostate should be no larger than 50 ccs. I know that that it can be larger for protons. Somewhere in my mind I have the number at 68 or less? I would make very sure that I had a good medical rationale regarding the recommendation to have Lupron. " In some men hormone therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy, is given in the form of Lupron prior to starting treatment with radiotherapy. Prostate cancer depends on testosterone, the male hormone, to grow and to flourish. When testosterone is removed, the prostate cancer cells become quiet. There is some evidence which suggests that prostate cancer cells are more sensitive to external radiation when testosterone is absent. There are a variety of ways to remove testosterone on a temporary or permanent basis. One of the most commonly used approaches involves the administration of Lupron. Lupron is a intramuscular injection, which is given in the buttocks. Typically a 4 month Depo Lupron injection is used. After the injection, the body does not make testosterone for the next 4 months. Without testosterone the PSA typically declines significantly and the prostate cancer cells become inactive. Effects associated with Lupron therapy include loss of libido (sexual drive and interest) and diminished or absent of erection. Hot flashes occur in approximately 50% of the men. These side effects of Lupron typically resolve once the effect of the Lupron has subsided. Lupron is also used in some men to decrease the size of the prostate. Prostate size is an important factor in selecting men as candidates for seed implant. Ideally, the prostate should be less than 50 cc in volume. When the prostate is less than 50 cc, seed implantation is technically easier because the pubic bone is not in the way during the placement of the needles to introduce the seeds. For those men whose prostates are larger than 50 cc in size, pretreatment with Lupron may be carried out to reduce the size of the prostate to make subsequent seed implant easier. " > > > > Thanks.

It is used by Consumer Reports health web site for prescription drug shopping. The retail prices for Lupron it shows vary by the dose but are about $1600 per month of stated effectiveness. http://www.drx.com Note, the stated time of effectiveness is the minimum. My " 4-month " dose is still suppressing testosterone at 6 months out, by monthly blood testosterone level checks.
