55 year old male and used to be in excellent condition. I had radiation and Lupron Depot injections for prostate cancer and even though my PSA is down to .032, the hot flashes, joint pain, weakness, weight gain and atrial fibrillation caused by Lupron sucks. Now I am on medication for the a fib and it's really horrible.

68 year old male with prostate cancer that has spread. My first Lupron kept the PSA down for more than a year, but the effects were so terrible I refused more until a bone scan showed cancer spread all over and my PSA went thru the roof. With 2nd and subsequent shots my doctor prescribed taking Casodex pills for 10 days and as well as drinking soy milk to kept down hot flashes and night sweats. With this regimen I had absolutely no problems. I also now take soy pills instead of drinking the milk.
