Any body had a lot of side effects from hormone therapy
Hi Gwen, a belated welcome to the Prostate Forum.
As with the others, my side effects started straight away, ED, mood swings, hot flushes after about 2 weeks. Basically I could "cry" for England (and Scotland johnam ). The slightest thing would set me off.
It took the first 2 weeks of Radiotherapy for the fatigue to really hit me.
It did take over a year to get the hormones out of my system once I had my last injection.
Acupuncture worked for me with the hot flushes.
Remember, not everyone suffers from the side effects, we are all different!
