    I went through 1 1/2 years of Lupron shots, finally over as of last November. My advice is to keep working out, do cardio, and wait for testosterone levels to rise again. I did whatever my radiologist said to do. Best of luck.

    That's good advice.

    I had 18 months of Lupron and recovered OK (age 74 at the time).

    ok. Don’t like the look. I’ve always been physically fit. Look like an old skinny guy with a little pot belly now 😂😳😂
