A dose of melatonin that I have been using is 1mg/kg giving orally about
8-9 hours after sunrise.  The recommended dose of Lupron is 100-500mcg/kg
per month.  Thus 300-1500mcg/kg of the 3 month version.  As you probably
know the adrenal glands are typically either hyperplasia ("precancer"),
adenomas ("benign"), or carcinomas ("malignant").  Carcinomas are likely
to require the higher end of the dose, but hyperplasias and adenomas are
likely to respond to the lower end of the dose.
 
You may want to use the 1000mcg (1mg) of the 4 month Lupron depot from
Jayhawk Pharmacy (1-785-228-9700).  This will give you 250mcg per month,
or 5 times as much Lupron for $100.
 
As for tumor response, again it likely depends on what type of tumor you
have.  Some carcinomas will continue to grow despite Lupron treatment.
 
Good luck with Bandit,
