Re: shrinking nuts

Warwick:
I was on Lupron for 10 months and then continued with Casodex.

Took about 4 months after Lupron shot was over for the hot flashes to stop.

Then I noted that my testicles were/are about the size of jellybeans! Docs never told me to expect that.

Since the exact purpose of Lupron or/and Casodex is to stop production of testosterone, I guess it is not surprising to have shrinkage.

So far however, I have not had any urge to start cross dressing!

Re: shrinking nuts

Having been on Zoladex for three and a half years, I can testify to shrinkage. It is quite marked but since I can only use the kit for pissing and I can hold the hose still despite my size 10 hands, it isn't much of a problem! Mind you finding the thing is another matter....

As to the pickled walnuts, well, I suppose pickled peanuts are more apt.

Don't take it too seriously - as you can tell, I don't.
