I had my Firmagon shot yesterday & questioned the PA about duration of getting the hormone shots.
His ANswer>> Normal is 1 to two years BUT due to my high Gleason score I must be on the drug for THREE years. AS far as the PSA now down to 0.7, he said we should have been there much sooner.
What is your opinion????
