Lupron is a testosterone blocker, and prostate cancer generally needs testosterone to grow, so this drug is frequently used for it. I had not heard of its use for endometriosis before now. My dad was on Lupron for about 15 years, and the only side effect he seemed to have was some joint soreness that he described as far less bothersome than the osteoarthritis he also had. FWIW, my dad ended up passing away from smoking induced lung cancer, and not prostate cancer. Hope this helps, and I wish you both well with your prognoses.
