How long for Lupron treatment?
by Larry Stevenson
How long should you take Lupron treatments? I have been under Lupron treatment for one year. ANSWER: Hi there, According to the information that you gave me, I can conclude that the radiation treatment along with the usage of Lupron are really improving your condition. Because of this, I can admit that this treatment is really working for you. Regarding the Lupron treatment, you have to know that it generally continues for about 12-16 months. However, in some cases the treatment with Lupron can last up to 2 years. The exact duration of this treatment depends on your general condition and on the opinion of your doctor. However, according to the information you gave me, I think that this treatment will end in one or two months time. Important fact, which has to be mentioned, is that Lupron will be replaced by other drugs, which are going to prevent the prostate cancer development and metastases. The bad thing is that I�m not able to inform about the other drugs, which you will take after the Lupron treatment. Everything will depend on the opinion of your urologist and his/her medical capabilities. So don�t be afraid, just focus on your treatment and hope that everything will be ok. Hope it helped! All the best! Dr.Alba
