My husband just got his 3rd Lupron shot (every 3 month treatment) First day is ok but 3rd day in he feels like everything hurts, very tired wirth flu like symptions and feelings of depression and concern that hes not doing better but getting worse. Not sure if his is a normal reaction or if I should call his doctors office. Today is Sunday and I may do that tomoorrow anyway but wondered if anyone else has experienced this.
The side effects you wrote about are common with Hormone Therapy. Friends and family often notice the changes in a patient long before he does.
If you're concerned about his psychological well being - which is often disturbed not so much by the hormone therapy but by a combination of that plus the sinking in of the cancer diagnosis and what that could mean to quality of life - then you must mention it to your family physician who could recommend a psychologist for counselling.
The earlier the better I feel.
Olá. Estive no Lucron por 12 meses, os efeitos colaterais foram tão ruins que houve perda de músculo, a ponto de ser tão doloroso andar 5 metros. Emoção e depressão foram além..... Então, encontrei uma alternativa ao Lucron no ZOLADEX.... Tenho uma injeção mensal e agora estou nisso há 3 anos..... Uma viagem mais feliz, mas agora sou resistente à castração e combinei com Bicalutamida... Estou na Nova Zelândia.
