I am 2yrs into 3yrs of HT following RT 19 months ago.
I meet with my consultant last week and asked to finish HT 10 months early, really struggling with side effects and Quality of life. Anyway after discussion we agreed I would come off Prostrap and start taking Bicalutamide for 6 months and review then.
How have others managed the side effects of Bicalutamide
Hello Brizzy1
I can't comment personally but Bicaluatimide is the "softest" of all the HT treatments and will do the job - but with less side effects.
Best wishes - Brian.
