For Prostate Cancer "After biopsy revealed it was time to consider Hormone Therapy. I was started on Lupron. I came back in for a three-month check, and my PSA had not changed that much, and my Testosterone was still high. I did not want to add another pill to my 'diet,' so the Urologist tried 3 months of Firmagon. Wow! PSA down huge, and the doctor says I'm completely Test-Suppressed."

For Prostate Cancer "I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 10 years ago and had surgery. Because I still had PSA activity, I was put on Lupron. My PSA decreased to below 1.0, and I voluntarily ceased the Lupron injections. Earlier this year, tests showed my PSA was greatly elevated. I started with a new doctor who put me on Firmagon. My PSA dropped from 3200 three months ago to 29! There have been no significant side effects other than those similar to the Lupron use."

For Prostate Cancer "Started with PSA of 30. After three months on Firmagon, the PSA was below one. This stuff really works! I had all the usual side effects: lethargy, hot and cold spells, and especially injection site pain. The injection site became red, hot, puffy, and hurts quite badly for a few days after. And you have to get the injection every 28 days. But it really does hammer down the PSA."

For Prostate Cancer "Been taking it for about 4 months, lower back pain gone, heat and cold flashes, testicles shrinking, no sex drive, weight gain. My PSA number was 212 and last checked was 9, so it's working. I have stage 4 where it has gone to my bones. Now I am also using marijuana to see if it helps cancer. We shall see."

For Prostate Cancer "Diagnosed with oligometastatic prostate cancer with one lymph node and two bone mets in early Jan 2010. Had 240 mg degarelix. After 26 days, results show PSA down to 0.707 from 13.6 and testosterone down to 4.1. Very mild side effect so far. Had my first 80 mg degarelix on 24 Feb 2020."

For Prostate Cancer "Had my 1st injection one month ago. My PSA dropped from 10 to 4. I'm going for the 2nd injection today. Injections in the abdomen hurt for a few days, only side effect so far: tiredness, weakness. Have recurring cancer following brachytherapy."

For Prostate Cancer "Started with Lupron Depot every 3 months, but had severe dizziness and fatigue. Switched to Firmagon and felt much better. In both cases, no testosterone means no erection, fatigue, lack of enthusiasm, and weight gain. After one year, I got tired of the pain from shots. Switched to Orgovolyx + Xtandi and felt better."
