One more medication that would not be over the counter or prescription would be the Lupron shot. To protect my ovaries during chemotherapy and to hopefully preserve my ovaries for a chance of having children later on, the Lupron shot slows the blood floor to the ovaries and puts your body into a temporary state of menopause. Yes, MENOPAUSE at age 28. So side effects of the Lupron shot:
1. Hot flashes
2. Fatigue
3. Swelling
4. Bone pain
5. Headache
6. Sweating
7. Allergic reaction
8. Chest pain
9. Nausea
10. Trouble urinating
12. Wheezing
13. Breast swelling/ tenderness
14. Depression
15. Impotence
16. Injection site pain
17. Irritability/ mental changes
18. Seizures
19. Testicular shrinkage (not a problem for me obviously)
20. Decreased sex drive
21. Dry mouth
22. Discomfort/ pain
23. Weight gain
Yup, sign me up…
The Lupron shot was injected into my butt cheek, and yes made it was little sore but not too bad. The injections took place every 4 weeks for the duration of chemotherapy. The side effects that I experienced were:
1. Hot flashes
2. Decreased sex drive
3. Irritability
4. Sweating
5. Headaches
Now you are all thinking “your poor husband”
