Severe pain in hip and back, regular headache.  Biopsy positive for prostate cancer, had radical prostectomy.  On lupron.  Suggest
Patient: Dec. 2010 I had a turp and the biopsiy was positive for prostate cancer. My urologist started me on lupron. In march 2013 I had a radical prostecemy. My gleanson score was 5+4. I have six days left of radiation and have had two more lupron shots. My hip and back have really started hurting. I have daily headaches. Should I stop taking the lupron. Doctor: Hello user,I don't think you should stop lipron as it reduces testosterone production in body and helps in reducing size of prostate cancer, and reduces further recurrence of left out prostate tissue into full blown cancer.You are rather advised to have a MRI/CT scan of your back and hip region to rule out metastasis of prostate cancer to these regions !!Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.Regards,Dr Hari Om ChandrakarMBBS
