Hello All
I am a prostate cancer patient, who has undergone RP and salvage radiation.
I have had a biochemical recurrence confirmed by my recent PSMA scan which unfortunately shows a small tumor in my rt iliac lymph node, which was treated with radiation.
So now my onco has commenced ADT, i will be taking degarelix injection and abiraterone acetate oral pills.
I would like to hear expereinces from other prostate cancer patients who may have been prescribed the same meds. I am worried about the quality of life as well as major side effects.
So would like to hear of side effects of above two meds, and how people managed them.
Thanks in advance
