New pt. to Lupron

I am so worried. I started on Lupron two days ago and now I have a strong odor when I urinate. I called my oncologist and they said it could be the Lupron. Help. I am having a nervous breakdown here.

Annemarie,

When I had a strong odor to my urine, it was a Unrinary Tract Infection (Bladder infection). Cipro was the drug they prescibed.

Hang in There!! I'll be praying for you. Get some of my favorite anxiety med...Ativan.

I'll be praying for you.

For some reason, most oncologists prefer a chemical thing like Lupron, over having the ovaries removed (oophorectomy). Personally, I wouod rather not take a hormone but remove the ovaries and take maybe tamoxofin. You do have options and I would ask about the ovaries.
