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 Phil A C - 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

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