Hello everyone, my husband was diagnosed feb 23, he's 72 and reasonably active.  the cancer is on his shoulder and hip too.  he started the hormone therapy immediately and now on the 3 monthly injection... it was going well till the hot flushes started.   looking for advice on dealing with hot flushes (they bypassed me during menopause)  I have him take vitamin and sage supplements daily on the nurses advice.  He can't stand taking anything so I feel I am forcing him.

He's started going fishing again but gets tired easily so sleeps early and then awake all night worrying about wanting a wee. He's also getting some pain in his groin area b4 urination - he doesn't explain it well and keeps it to himself but I see it in his face and demeanour.  His doc told me to just buy co-codamol or neproxen over the counter.  

So, appreciate any thoughts you may have.

    Many thanks, I need to check with my team at the next appointment.

    Unfortunately I forgot to mention yesterday as we had big problems trying to park in the car park at the hospital.

    We had to jump out of my daughter's car without my wheelchair and walk in to the cancer hospital.

    I do hope that everything goes ok for you both???
