Diagnosed with early prostate cancer in April, I chose external beam radiation and two three month injections of lupron as my treatment. Aside from the daily hot flashes and total loss of libido, I've experience extreme weakness in my pelvis and thighs after sitting for a period of time. I am now in the last week of the second injection. How long will it take for my libido to return and is the muscle weakness permanent or will it end when and if my testosterone ever returns to nomal levels. I am quite annoyed the full extent of the side effects of lupron were not discussed with me prior to treatment. I fear that the exhorbatant cost of this drug creates too great an incentive to proscribe it. I anyone can answer these question please post your experience.
