Well after 2 weeks of the pills then The HT jab that was also 2 weeks ago I have to say I've absolutely side effects . So on we go next jab in another 12 days let's see what that has to offer
Hi Mustardo
Don't count your chickens before your eggs are hatched. .
I went for a few months on HT - thought nothing had changed - and BINGO - it all started at once (or in the case of my erection didn't!!).
They are coming pal - let me assure you - if you getaway with no side effects I will be round to buy you a beer!!
(I think you have had two weeks on Bicalutamide pills - this stops the hormone flare at the start of the treatment!)
Don't worry - they will get you!
Kind Regards - Brian.

Hi Mustardo,
Like you, I thought I was getting away without any side effects, but they have snuck up from behind after 8 weeks on tablets & 7 after the first 3 monthly injection.
So far it's only the hot flushes which to be honest don't last too long & would have been more than welcome last winter when the energy prices were higher. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the others will give me a miss.
Here's hoping you will be the exception & miss out on them all.
Good luck
Brian
Hi , you seem to be similar to my start of this journey as I have my second jab this coming Thursday and only fatigue is hitting me but like I’ve said on here I’m a builder so one day I could be on a concrete braker and filling a skip on throwing concrete blocks about
Cheers , Jonny mac
Hi Brian
I use Sage Tablets - they sorted my hot flushes out good and proper - don't work for everybody but happy cold days for me
Best wishes
Brian.

Morning I'm just 1 day behind you 2nd jab Friday , yep just the odd hot flush , I'm so pleased I backed out on surgery and opted for HT RT now ...OK time will tell but I can still control my bladder and that's a big + . Good luck on the road ahead
Good afternoon all and had my second jab Friday , then hot flush Saturday and anyone experiencing weird dreams at night ?
