Prostate Cancer Survivors

 

YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

  

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.

There are only  two rules: no commercials (although it is quite OK to recommend treatment choices and medical people based on your personal research) or fundraisers and no flaming - be polite at all times.

Since we are aiming for it to be a true International Forum it would be good if you showed your country in your post.

Subject:   Vantas Implant

Message:   After much deliberation, I decided that I'm just not comfortable with the Urologist that has been treating me.
I sought out a new Uro whose office is closer and more convenient.
He comes highly recommended.

In the eight months since I was diagnosed, I have received two 4 month depots of Lupron via injection.

The new Uro advised me to try an implant that is supposed to be good for 1 year.
He said is was the same as Lupron, just another delivery system which gives a more uniform dose over a given period of time.

The implant is called Vantas.

After doing a little research, I discovered that it is not Lupron but a similar drug called Histrelin.

I would like to know if anyone out there has experience with this implant.
