Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 In the same web site as the PHI (Index) is an article on Gene fusion causing prostrate cancer. What have you read and are there cures and/or treatments being worked on related to gene fusion? Tom W.

There wasalso "trigger finger" in some fingers. This grew steadily worse.I tried all the standard anti-inflammatory drugs with no effect.It turned out the solution was massive amounts of exercise forboth flexibility and strength. After about a year the problemwent completely away.It's hard to prove that this was caused by the Lupron and, if itwas, I have no idea why the problem should have only begun wellafter the end of treatment. But since pain in small joints isvery common with Lupron, and since it eventually went completelyaway (which it wouldn't have done if it were arthritis), I assumethat it was caused by the Lupron treatment.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
