I would like to find out the following about Lupron: I downloaded a webside about Lupron, a drug which my doctor injected for prostate cancer, after which I had severe backache and hot flashes. The webside title is "Be careful of lupron for Endometiosis, It could be the kiss of death" by Dr. Mercola at http:/www.mercola.com/feb/9/lupron.htm. The information sounds questionable. Attempting to access one of the links about lupron and prostate cancer caused Norton internet security to appear with the message that they stopped somebody from invading my computer and giving me the choice if I want more information and "no", "no" being the recommended option. I chose to request more information whereupon a screen came up with the requested information on the link of lupron. My questions are: 1. Is there any truthfulness to the claim that lupron is so dangerous and on what basis did Norton block this information. Obviously they are not the medical expert to decide what treatment is appropriate and what not. That should be left to me and my doctor. 2. Does anybody know anything about this Dr. Mrecola? 3. Does Lupron have any advantages over other testosterone-blocking drugs in the fight of prostate cancer? 4. Is backache and/or hot flashes one of the side reactions of lupron? 5.How can hot flashes and backache cause by lupron be combatted? 6 Will combatting backache and\or hot flashes nullify the benefits of lupron in its fight of prostate cancer? |

This will answer a lot of your questions. http://www.lupron.com/prostate/AboutLupronDepot.asp There are many different drugs to fight prostate cancer but virtually all of them are anti-androgenic. Your mileage may vary. I doubt anyone at Google answers will give you hard and fast information about the various prostate cancer medications and which might be better for you. They are not doctors and have not reviewed your records. Depending on the type of cancer you have, compounds like Casodex, and Anandron, and Flutamide, may or may not provide you benefit over Lupron. You should ask your doctor and research the various other treatment options. There are many drugs, that despite helping millions of people, come with sometimes serious side effects in a small portion of patients using the drugs. Not all drugs work for all people. Part of life. Sometimes people get grumpy and sue. Best of Luck. |

BTW, I am not a medical doctor. I am a blithering moron who has nothing better to do but post inane remarks on google answers. You should discuss and verify everything I wrote with a sane, and certified medical professional. |
