Hi all,
I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer - T4 N1 M1b - has spread to a lymph node beyond pelvis and there’s a lesion on T8 of the spine.
Started off with four week course of Bicalutamide with Zoladex 3.6 implant after first two weeks. Just had second implant of Zoladex 10.8. GP going to switch me to Prostap when I have next implant.
Starting Enzalutamide as well next week as recommended by Oncologist. Wants to hit it hard early.
Only side effects so far are hot flushes, interrupted sleep and a bit emotional now and then - but expecting a few more issues once on the Enzalutamide.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian - Welcome to the club!! How strange I am a Brian M - I thought I was the only one!!
Well I can only help with the hot flushes - sage tablets have reduced mine from 2 hours to 5 minuets each. I think in this club we all tend to be emotional!! I know I can cry for England.
I wish you well on your journey and hope you find all you need on here - if not just ask - there are plenty of people here with more knowledge than me.
Kind Regards - Brian.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the info - will be prepared and try and keep reasonably fit - cold weather not helping at the moment but at least I’ve got the hot flushes to warm me up 
Thanks,
Brian
