Does anyone having HRT for prostate cancer suffer from a dry cough?
Has anyone told you the reason for the cough I can't seem to get any answers it would be good to know as I'm fed up with it now
Hi Ian,
I have only had it for a couple of weeks and to be honest I decided to wait as my radio therapy treatment starts in 2 weeks and I didn't want to delay it if they thought it might affect my treatment.But I did look into it on the net and found on one site that a side affect of 'menapause' was a dry throat, but it doesn't seem to be widely recognised. If it is a side affect of hormone treatment , hopefully it will eventually diminish once hormone treatment comes to an end. Laurie
Many thanks I will try some of the remedies they suggested and see if they work
