Few side effects from Hormone therapy

Hi Andrew, I am used to exercise because I control pre type 2 diabetes like this since 2020. Getting started with exercise is difficult.... I bought an indoor cycle and one for outdoors in Summer[ am not a great cyclist].. Once I got into a routine it was ok. I also joined a hotel leisure complex and go swimming and use gym 3- 4 times a week. I try to eat healthily most of the time. I live in Bucks in the countryside and walk my dog every day too. I hope someone can team up with you to give you the motivation and the company to get going. I feel better for doing it .

I just had the silly thought that few side effects meant the treatment was not working....but it seems you don't have to get strong effects.

Definitely.  I called a macmillan nurse recently for an unrelated side effect and she was very pleased to hear that my consultant had agreed to tadalafil.  She said it is so important to stop atrophy.  Ask for it.  Tell them you need it.   AW

Ask about a different brand or approach to achieve the same aim.  Blood flow.  They may go for 10mg.  Or they may suggest viagra. AW

I stopped HT after 18 months.  However, throughout I had no libido but - crucially - no ED.  I’m still in that situation but very hopeful that improvement is round the corner.   In the meantime, bedroom action is still lots of fun.   AW

I have a meeting with the oncologist at the end of April and will raise.

The drugs, not the penis.....

Good to hear mstev2 . The best time to take Tadalafil is in the evening.  This means that, as you sleep, you are likely to get blood flow to the right area.  A little known fact is that most erections happen when men are asleep. Erection equals blood engorgement which keeps all those capillaries “open for business”.    AW
