Hi all,
First the good news.
We have sold our guesthouse at last and will be leaving Morecambe on the 28th July and moving back to Wirral where we came from. Bought a lovely house on a quiet cul de sac.
Time to retire for good and see my days out pottering around the garden.
I was taken off Degeralix injections and put onto relugolix tablets a couple of months ago.
The other day I went for a shower and low and behold, I saw nearly all my body hair had suddenly disappeared. Under arms, chest, back, legs all gone. Other 'bits' thinning fast. Still got a good head of pure white hair though which I hope doesn't fall out.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Chins up and keep fighting.
Hello Tomjef
Hormone Therapy plays havoc with your body hair - I lost all of mine, chest, under arms, pubic but kept my head hair. I have been off treatment for 8 months and my chest hair is growing back - it was red - it's now black!!
Another one for you - I have a place in Turkey and while we are over there I use my local barber for haircuts and a shave. A year after I had started Hormone therapy the barber asked me if I was "poorly". I said no - just having treatment for Prostate Cancer and he said "I knew it" - "your beard is soft and fluffy and the hairs don't shave properly".
Last fact - most men on Hormone Therapy don't sweat.
Great news about the business-enjoy a long and happy retirement.
Best wishes - Brian.
