I updated my profile today after my first 3 month Zoladex injection.
There were a number of things, so to save myself a lot of typing I am just going to quote what I updated my profile with:
"19/07 - first three month injection for Zoladex, which, I have to confess, was a less fun experience than the one month one. Worse, the doctor I saw couldn't do it, so a nurse had to demonstrate how it was done to the doctor how to do it with me as the model.
After the injection spoke to the doctor about a spot on my nose which has been misbehaving and, surprise suprise, have been referred to the dermatologist clinic. Once again on the 14 day suspected cancer list (third time this year) which I don't really mnd because I get seen quicker. The reason for action is that it COULD be basal cell carcinoma.
It may actually be, because once again both my age and the position on the nose make it something that has to be worked out. Even if it is, that's one of the versions of cancer that has more ways of treating it than P Ca.
The we discussed a recent blood test which gave me borderline results on blood sugers and lipids. The doctor was monumentally uncocerned but prescribed statins anyway because of my age.
Spiffing.
On the other hand I am, so far, not having very much in the way of side effects of the Zoladex. Not expressing any joy on this because I reckon that in about a month there might be more to report.
The only one I can report is a complete loss of anything that might be pretending to be a libido. There might be some mild events vaguely pretending to be a hot flush, but I can be sure. Some fatigue, but that is more likely to be because I have been rushing around like a headless chicken."
As you can see, the overall discussion kept veering off the subject, but the last two paragraphs are the ones which led to this query.
Can anyone give me an idea when furteher side effects might appear?
I am content with the wait and see approach, but I'd sort of like to recognise them when they happen.
Thank you Dafna - another three weeks to go, then, by that count.
Thank you.
Have done that.
It's only mildly scary
