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  ).  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!

  • My loss of libido stopped me from thinking about "What I couldn't do".

    But...in my case, the hormones and radiotherapy done their respective jobs!
