Hello, hope everyone is doing OK. I’m posting on behalf of Mike my husband in the hope for reassurance (again) please.
Mike remains totally wiped out since his last hormone injection. He has a bad chest infection and is much better just left with a cough. He can manage a 15 minute walk in the morning but that leaves him wanting to sleep for the afternoon. He has episodes of dizziness and is due repeat bloods tomorrow as he had low calcium and slightly reduced haemoglobin levels.
The worst aspect is how this is affecting him mentally. He is very despondent and down, he let me call the MacMillan helpline and he spoke with an advisor in private which did help. He admitted that he worries about me because I’ve got Parkinson’s and how will I cope.
Did anyone else experience extreme fatigue with Degorelix?
Seeing oncologist for first time in June, terrified it’ll all be bad news again. Mike was diagnosed in April this year, came as a shock told he had sciatica. PC spread to bones and spine.
I hope my angst ridden posts don’t bring you all down. I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without you.
Thank you
