Hi, my husband has been on bicalutamide for 2 years. He’s becoming increasingly irritable and angry. These are not listed as side effects of the drug but I’m wondering whether anyone else is seeing similar affects? 

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that your husband is becoming increasingly irritable and angry. I don't know if these are side effects of the drug he is taking or a reaction to the situation that he finds himself in.

    I had a peek at your profile to see what type of cancer your husband is being treated for but you haven't completed it yet. I can see that you've joined the prostate cancer group so I assume that is what your husband has.

    Could I suggest that you also post your question in the prostate cancer group as the people there may have had experience with bicalutamide. Clicking on the link I've created will take your straight there.

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    Thanks latchbrook. I might be wrong but I don’t think it’s a reaction to the situation. Gut feel is that it’s treatment related. 
    Thanks for the suggestions re profile etc.
