Taking Goserelin Along With Radiation For The Post Operative Rise In Psa. Is There Any Link Between Goserelin And Kidney Disease?

Iam taking Goserelin along with radiation which I have just finished to deal with a post operative rise in my psa. There were two spots of positive margin noted in the pathology report. Question: I have just read that there is a strong link between Goserelin and kidney disease. Can you comment on that and if the link is there what should I be asking my Oncologist / Doctor?

HI
Thank for choosing HCM,
Goserelin is mainly used for treating hormone sensitive cancers, it exerts the positive counter effect on production of sex hormone this causes the low production of these hormones, if the kidney function is not impaired then this is safe, but if the the kidney function is not normal then it has to be given with some precautions, and I think your oncologist must have taken this in his account, so you need not worry about it, Have nice Day.
