Treatment symptoms - sweats/shivers

I've had severe hot flashes day and night after starting my hormone treatment, I was eventually prescribed medroxyprogestrone and for me it really sorted it. I still get some hot flashes but they're very mild, they don't interrupt my sleep and I don't soak my clothes in sweat. 

Hope it helps your husband too.

That is so good to hear! Thanks for giving us some hope  How long did it take to have an effect roughly? I know everyone is different of course. 

All the best to you 

About 2 weeks for me

That's quicker than we were hoping! So good to know and this will keep us going after another night of broken sleep and musical beds...It may not work for him but fingers crossed  Thank you 

I'm on the same triplet therapy - in my case Prostap HT, Docetaxel (finished Sept 2024) and darolutamide. I also get the hot flushes but fortunately not as bad as your husband and don't need to take anything to combat them, but I have noticed that they become more intense and frequent in the few weeks before my 12 weekly HT injection is due.

The docetaxel side effects sound familiar, especially the sore mouth, and should all gradually subside after the last cycle is completed. I wrote a blog during my treatment and, although everyone reacts differently, there are some common issues. The link is below if you're interested in reading it. Rest assured he should start to feel better in the weeks after chemo ends.

I wish you all the best for successful treatment,

Derek.

Prostate Cancer Recurrence - Triple Therapy

Hi Noelle970f24 , have you mentioned the sore mouth to your team.  There are mouth washes which can be quite effective and relieve some soreness.

Thank you so much Derek, I certainly will read it thank you. 

Thank you, that's good to know.
