Why do you take them: Tell me why you take Lupron (leuprolide) and Danazol to begin with? I have never heard any correlation between lupron/ Danazol and increased risk of leukemia. What kind of weird symptoms are your referring here? There must be something else that leads your doctor to refer you to see an oncologist- perhaps some abnormal blood work?Abnormal imaging study? Ask your doctor why you have to see an oncologist.

No.: Danazol can be associated with benign liver tumors. There is no malignancy associated with either drug that I am aware of, and certainly not any of the leukemias.

Not abnormal: You may not have started your menstrual cycle due to the fact that the Lupron (leuprolide) has stopped your ovulation already. This is normal.
