Hi, two months now after my radiotherapy and my symptoms are worse. Still waiting for my phone call follow up due next week.

Body weak with red rash under arms.

A worrying time of exhaustion and mood swings from hormone therapy.

Online suggests it is normal.

  • Hi  - stick with it: these side effects tend to “normalise” with time, so you will learn to live with them whilst on hormone therapy.  I also had the underarm reaction for a couple of months (itch at night).  I used eurax cream (with crotamiton) which promises up to 10 hours itch relief. Amazon have a large tube currently on offer down from £9.49 to £6.56 (I’ve just checked ).  That’s a bargain, because - for me - it worked.  Hope this helps,    AW

  • Thanks, that is helpful.

  • Hi  , sorry to hear you are having horrible side effects.  I agree with  keep going and most diminish over time. Just tell your team about all the issues.  Good luck, David
