Your experience please.

Hi Jonny five , I started on 12 weekly Zoladex 8 years ago and have been on it continuously ever since.  By far the worst symptom has been fatigue.  Apart from during other treatments, I have tried to play tennis and walk 10,000 steps a day but during chemo, RT and SABR I have had to slow down as fatigue just seems to get much worse.  Part of the issue could be that I am now 76 so can’t put everything down to HT.  I get hot flushes, mostly ok but sometimes extremely intense but I really don’t want to take anything for them.  As for other symptoms, like joint pain etc,  it is difficult to pin it onto the HT and in my case nothing is severe.  My cataracts worsened and night driving is very hard, but is that age related?  Hope this helps.  David

For the hot flushes can suggest taking sage tablets from Holland and Barrett.

You mention your cataracts,  mine was removed 2 years ago, on my most recent eye check earlier this year, the examiner did comment your eyes need some laser treatment due to clouding over,  she did say it probably down to the hormone and testerone treatments,  hope this explains and helps, good luck in the future.
