Hi,

I've being on monthly Lupron injections (3.75mg) since March 2020. My cancer center in California also offered an option of 3-month Lupron shots, but I don't know the dosage. I adjusted to this treatment with tolerable side effects. My hormone levels were checked and this dosage was enough. Recently we moved to Texas (Austin area) and I got a problem. The only Lupron dosage that my new oncologist is willing to prescribe is 7.5mg for 1 month. Ladies, please, I am asking for your help. If you live in Texas, and you have a more flexible doctor who can prescribe 3.75mg monthly or 3-months shots, could you please share their name or the hospital name.

Thank you
