No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: Starting with Eligard (with or without anti-antrogen)
Nara,
Sorry to hear about your husband. You are right to question why no anti androgen to prevent flair. Onncologist typically keep you on it for the duration of the cycle if you are doing intermittent ADT2. I agree with Scott. Find yourself a medical oncologist that specializes in prostate cancer. His Doc should have handed him off to an Oncologist.
