Lupron

Hi guys ,
Been awhile since I've posted.. Just celebrated six years cancer free .. Was feeling great then doctor started me on lupron injections and I physically went into a tail spin.. Now I'm four months out from that and have lost a lot of my hair from it.. Was hoping someone could tell me if they've been on it and does the hair come back?

Re: Lupron

I was on Zoladex for two months and lost 50% of my hair, gained 17 pounds, sprouted menopausal acne and had severe bouts of fatigue. I stopped taking the shots because I couldn't take it anymore. Turns out it wasn't essential I take it because my ER levels in my Cancer were 10% and I'm already Perimenopausal. I'll be getting a complete hysterectomy in 6 years though.
