Im recieving injections of lupron depot for ovarian cancer, what are you experiences or side effects with this?|||Hi! I have been taking Lupron injections for 2 years for breast cancer. There is a lot of new exciting info about this treatment out there. Here are some sites with info:

and

www.breastcancer.org

- just search on lupron.

The side effects are like those of menopause, hence the new name %26quot;Chemopause%26quot;. I%26#039;ll be honest, the shots drive me crazy sometimes, but on the other hand, I am still here! I was diagnosed with hormonal BC at 42, so putting me into menopause was a must. I had surgery, CMF chemo, radiation,

and now the monthly injections along with Arimidex, and Boniva to maintain bone strength. Lupron does cause osteopenia or porosis, so you%26#039;ll need to take something for that, too. I like Boniva because it is monthly instead of weekly.

I hope I was helpful. Best of luck to you - and remember- the side effects are worth survival!
