Hi, sorry to hear you're going throug this. My experience on Lupron has
been ok. I have found the first 3 weeks (been on 2 cycles in the past)
have been the worst. Add-back therapy has helped a bunch with the hot
flashes. VERY emotional/snappy at people all the time. But better than
all the pain i'm in most of the time. good luck!
