hi
i was on 3x Prostap 3 monthly injections from Feb 17 and felt crap: fatigue, depression etc. Got the all clear July 2018. Also had 20 fractions of RT.
psa started to rise dramatically in 2019/2020 resulting in being diagnosed with metastatic cancer in Jan 2021 and went on Decapeptyl 6 monthly injections and felt fine. My oncologist has decided I need a break so was given a 3 monthly Prostap and feel crap again.
Anyone else had different reactions to different HT concoctions?
Hi
Were all different how these treatments affect us, some are lucky and barely get any, like you I’m not a lucky person when it comes to side effects. Having said that, without help we would certainly not be on this planet very long. I’ve been on prostap for nearly five years years and yes it fatigues and makes me tired, but that’s the cross we bear.
Hope like some you just get used to it and carry on the best you can.
Stay safe
Joe
