@Rbeck1234 sorry to hear you going through this. I have been there and hope I can lend a hand to you. What was done for your prostate cancer? When were you diagnosed with bone cancer? What is your current status and treatment?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Not a good day. I have 4 metastatic bone cancer in my lower spine from prostrate cancer. Does anyone feel the bone aching , zero energy from hormone therapy? ( Nupron). Not liking it one bit!!!

I agree with you on the Lupron injection; it really is an energy zapper and life changer.

Some good news. My PSA numbers were so low, ( 0.05), that my Dr. took me off the Lupron for a couple of months. I did get bone strengthening shot though, which has a similar reaction ( Xgeva?).
Anyone want to discuss longevity?

Lupron messes with the hormones so has negative effects on energy. I am glad you have been taken off Lupron, so hopefully that helps with some of the issues. I wish I had experience with the bone strengthening shot, but I do not.

since I have been off Lupron for almost 2 months, I can feel life slowly returning to me. Tomorrow I do labs, so this might all change, but am enjoying it for now. It’s all about PSA numbers, stay tuned

I made the decision to have my proste removed and it was not an easy time... just as hard as finding out you had prostate cancer... I was advised by my doctors the surgery was the best option because of my age and the harmful affects of radiation longterm. For me, once I made the decision, I did have the peace of mind knowing that the actual cancer was "removed" instead of just treated... which, I guess, did give me some sense of comfort.
The biggest issue for me once the surgery was done and I was on the road to recovering was the effects it had on me emotionally/psychologically, which many people in my opinion overlook. I encourage anyone and everyone, when diagnosed with prostate cancer, before and after treatment and during, to seek psychological help... there is nothing wrong with it. Medications, counseling, and just talking about your feelings can help tremendously. Do not hold it all in and try to battle the anxiety and depression because this diagnosis will affect you, no matter how strong you may consider yourself to be.
The sexual effects treatment has on you will also affect you mentally, because your sexual ability and ability to have kids will likely be affected. Your performance ability can be likely fixed, but it can still affect you mentaly. Take care of yourself.
