OH 

Is now over two years on Aht and the side.effects seem to.get worse and worse.

He can barley get out of his chair and has swollen ankles and has fallen several.times

All fairly awful ..I am watching.him fade.

Drs said 3 years ..is just.on orgovyx now but taking blood.pressure tablets for high blood.pressure and folate acid for low.folate.

Who is best to talk.to ..I suggested he could.take a break but not.sure if this is wise - he always does exactly what the drs says unquestionaly.

  • Try calling the Macmillan Nurses on 0808 8080000 and seek their advice.

    They should be able to offer a good way to approach this.

    Better still, he may see their advice as the same level as the doctors.

    Changed, but not diminished.
  • Hello Doris ( 

    Steve above is quite right - speak to our nurses or you can copy and paste this post here:

    Ask a Nurse 

    I think you need to contact your oncology consultant and see if he along with your GP can sort out all the problems and side effects.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hello Doris’s, I’m sorry to read about your husband’s health problems. I am thinking that you should contact your GP about your husband as swollen ankles could or could not be connected with the prostate cancer and associated possibly with some other medical problem?
