prostate cance
"at age 60 biopsy showed prostate cancer psa was 10. had it out.  After it was out, psa still ten.  Started Lupron and psa dropped to 0 for two years.  Then my doc suggested I  go without the lupron... I did for 8 months and my psa climbed to 4. back on lupron and it dropped to zero.  Did lupron for another year, then went off of it again. Why? The side effects, bad arthritis hot flashes, weight gain, 30 lbs in first two months, then no more.  No libido and everything shrinks.  No body hair. It was a joy to get off that stuff for awhile but my psa started climbing again. Now back on Lupron, but no change in psa.  Went to a monthly shot, my psa stayed at 4.  Added Casodex, grew boobs,  really bad.  My psa is now 2.  I've been fighting cancer now for 6 years."
