Lupron side effects
Veteran with prostate cancer
I'm a Vietnam vet, diagnosed with prostate cancer, two years ago. Had aggressive cancer, high Gleason 9, and PSA 12.5 so surgery was suggested. Had to be aborted due to adhesions from previous colon surgery, so Lupron and 42 sessions of radiation. Stayed on Lupron for 18 months, and have all of the side effects everyone has mentioned, but I haven't read anyone say anything about their "man boobs " Mine has gotten bigger and hurt. I can hardly stand anything touching my chest, not to mention the embarrassment. They're getting hard to hide, and I've been off Lupron for a year. Still, nothing happening down south. Just wondering if the side effects ever ware off.
