Hi chaps. I’ve been on Decapeptyl before but I now have some node and bone spread so started enzalutamide yesterday. I know we’re all different but any advice, tips, warnings or cautions. Cheers Neil
Hi Neil
As Joe says we are all different - I have been on Decapeptyl alone for 12 months - no side effects for ages and then all at once my boobs grew, my flushes started (sorted out with sage tablets thanks to advice on here) and I have dry skin (again controlled with baby moisturiser thanks to advice on here). I must be luck as I have avoided the fatigue and tiredness.
Good luck with your future journey.
Kind regards - Brian.

Hi Neil - That's great you have avoided everything (apart from the tiredness and fatigue) so far. I was great on the Decapeptyl for about 6 months and thought this is going great. I remember saying to Mrs Millibob - I think I have missed the side effects and bang - they all came at once.
Good luck with your results on 8 March - we are all with you.
Brian.
