Interesting bit of News
Hormone patches are as good at controlling locally advanced prostate cancer as the injections typically used to deliver hormone therapy, according to the results of a large clinical trial led by UCL researchers.

UCL - Hormone Patches for Prostate Cancer.
When I read it the only issue with men using the patches was the number who grew a pair of "moobs" was very high.
Lets hope this is soon to be added to the "toolbox" by NICE.

Yes I saw that the risk of unwanted breast growth was higher with the patches. Having developed a nice pair myself this would probably put me off this as an option if they become available !

Hello Rob (Sandberg)
When I started my Hormone Therapy over 4 years ago, I was offered the medication to stop the growth of "moobs" (gynaecomastia) however I declined as I have enough medication for diabetes, blood pressure etc. Yes i too have grown a "fine pair".
Do I regret it - no - I am alive and have a great life.
Best wishes - Brian.
