Hello Mickib
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Prostate Community, although I am so sorry to find you here.
To get the best answer to your question, we could do with some more information, TNM Grades, Gleason Score and PSA. We could also do with knowing when you started HT and how long it's been prescribed for.
I know HT isn't easy - I am just at the end of 3 years and have had a couple of "black weeks" during my treatment.
There are a few things we can offer you at Macmillan to help with your personal feelings and here's an idea or two:
* We can offer you free counselling from a BUPA counsellor - here's the link:
* We offer details about talking about your problems - here's the link:
* How about we provide you will a telephone "Buddy" to ring you once a week to talk about your feelings, the news or any subject you want - here's the link:
You can always have a chat to one of the amazing folk on our Support Line - it's a free call to 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week).
I do hope the above helps, if I can do anything else for you please let me know.
Best wishes - Brian.
