Question
VA57
04/29/08

I'm having hot flashes after one injection of lupron 6 months ago. When will they stop?

I took casodex for one month before surgery. I've had LRP and margins were clear.  I still have problems with erections also.

My husband has been taking lupron since last September, and he still has hot flashes. The hot flashes come more often after he has the treatment. He is taking Lupron,because he has prostate cancer that has spread to some of the bones.
