    Hi 

    Warm welcome to the club no one wants to join :-/

    These type of side effects from hormone therapy are all so very common.

    Couple of questions to see if we can get you to the best groups here for you to get some support with this -  Is the hormone treatment for a male or female cancer type, and could you mention the tablet name ?

    Take care, G n' J

    Hi 

    So if you are having Bicalutamide (info link) chances are this is for Prostate Cancer ?

    The 3 monthly injection could be Zoladex or something similar.

    If this is the case there is a very active (and friendly) Prostate Group here you can check out; you can join the group by clicking the button just under the groups title. You can then start a discussion as an intro asking whatever questions you may have Thumbsup

    It would be the best place to get 'chatting' to other members going through the same treatments.

    If this isn't prostate cancer there are groups for all types under the 'Groups' tab at the top of the page.

    Hope this is of some help for now, G n' J
