Brother prostate cancer 2019 it’s back

Hi Artsie

For me, the main issues with HT, were fatigue and hot flushes. I found the fatigue seemed to get easier over time, but the hot flushes didn't. Before PC I could handle high temperatures - up to 30c anyway. Now I really struggle much above 20c. I started to come off the HT in January and I'm hoping things will go back to much as they were. We will see I guess!

With your brother living in Spain, I feel that he will find the hot flushes very debilitating. There are, I believe from reading other posts, drugs and herbal remedies, that can ease the symptoms so I would recommend researching them.

Hope this helps

Stuart

Hi Stuart

Thanks for your advice. The hot flushes were a concern of mine too especially with the Spanish sun. I will start researching now and herbal is definitely a really good tip. 
Hope that you feel the benefit of finishing the HT this Summer

Hi

It was a while ago even though I still get hot flushes, although I don’t live in Spain, the medication I was Provera a medication normally for women, but I had some super hot flushes this calmed them, I only took them till the flushes where more tolerable, you need to ask your doctor about them.

Stay safe

Hi Artsie both fatigue and hot flushes can be a nightmare in warm climates, I have recently had a course of acupuncture, which has reduced the intensity and amount of flushes I'm having, unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone.

All the best Ulls

Thanks for the info on meds. This is great advice I will definitely pass this on when apt  

Hi Ulls

Thanks for advising acupuncture it’s really good idea I’ve had success with it so maybe suitable for my brother.
