Hi all,
New to site, diagnosed with prostate cancer October 2020, with a gleason score of 4+5=9 which had spread to lymph glands. Had prostatectomy in November same year then course of radio therapy July 2021. I was given all clear in October 2021 and stayed on hormone therapy for 2 years total. I have been having regular check ups and in May 2024 my PSI started to go up again and after a PET scan found out the cancer was back in my lymph glands and vertabrae. I have started back on hormone therapy almost straight away for the rest of my life and started me on enzalutamide. Everything seams to be ok apart from the hot sweats, I have tried acupuncure,medroxyprogesterone and venlafaxine. my hot sweats are very intense more or less hourly and I am looking for any suggestions.
Thanks
Hello grandad636b6fd
I had bad hot sweats at the start of my Hormone Therapy. "Menoforce" Sage Tablets cured mine but as Slartibartfast said in his post above, they don't work for everyone.
