I've been on 3 monthly zoladex jabs for a year now and my PSA is now down to 1.2 from 23 last year which is great. My question is do I need to be on it for life (which I don't mind) or can I have a break? I know I should have asked when I had the last jab, but anyone have any suggestions please?
Sorry, but it depends on the reason you're on it - is it following radiotherapy after initial diagnosis, or is it for advanced PCa?
The rules vary!
