Fifteen years ago, my husband was given 5 years to live because his cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. He has been on Lupron depot for the past 14 years. He has also been taking Casodex for the past 10 years or when it first came out. He takes naps when necessary but he is still very active. He has complained this past year of bone pain and some dizziness. My husband is 84 years old and takes care of 15 steers, 2 horses and 2 dogs. Last year he stacked 100 bales of hay by himself. He has a strong faith in God, a positive attitude and a sense of humor. I'm sure the Lupron and Casodex also helps. He believes in quality of life and not quantity of life. I hope this review helps other advanced cancer patients.

this medicine has worked for me for the last 2-years.
