Hi there , I am one month past radiotherapy , having so far been on Leuprorelin for 10months. I am wondering what next? Because of difficulties I  have experienced with the hormone therapy and being in my 71st year the plan is to review and consider taking me off hormones after one year pending review and PSA readings (initially it was 12.5, before radiotherapy it had dropped below 4. I am waiting  currently for a new PSA, prior to a telephone appt and a review. I am wondering what my attitude should be about the length of hormones. I am concerned primarily about the effects they have had on my nervous system which was a factor in two bicycle accidents including shoulder head and neck injuries, plus moods , tinnitus and all the usual physical effects. However I don't want to come off too early if it was contraindicated. But I am worried about bone and muscle health etc too. Any thoughts?? mike
