Hi, my husband started taking Relugolix hormone a few weeks ago which has thankfully taken away the terrible metastatic bone cancer pains in his hip and leg. He's had 2 rounds of Docetaxel infusions and takes Darolutamide tablets alongside other meds. He now has constant alternating sweats and shivers. He has just started taking Progesterone tablets in an attempt to combat this. Does anyone have experience of whether this worked for them? We understand it could take a few weeks and may not work at all. Feeling a bit desperate at times as he is so miserable with this, as well as already low mood from the hormone treatment, fatigue, sore mouth etc. I feel so helpless and sad for him.
