I had my lupron, shot 3 weeks ago. I'm having brackeytherapy on Friday. Can somebody please tell me how to deal with these hot flashes they're killing me.
Hey there - Came across your comment and thought I'd check-in to see how you have been since posting this? Hot flashes are definitely a common side effect on Lupron...I went ahead and found a couple places on the site where others in the community have mentioned hot flashes. Here's one - (https://prostatecancer.net/living/take-give) and here's another (https://prostatecancer.net/living/adt-side-effects) where there are a fair amount of comments with others chiming in with their experiences and thoughts. I hope these resources prove helpful. Was this your first lupron shot? Hopefully this side effect becomes less strong over time. I imagine you spoke with your doctor about this already but it's important to stay hydrated and some recommend wearing loose clothing, staying in cool spaces. - Jake (Team Member)
