Hi all, still trying to come to terms with this.

  • Hi  you have made the first approach.  You are not alone and I am sure we can help you if you want to chat.

    Best wishes, David

    Please remember that I am not medically trained and the above are my personal views.

  • Hello  

    A warm welcome to the group - although I am so sorry to find you joining us - we are a decent bunch!!

    Will you please let us have some further details as to just where you are with your prostate cancer diagnosis and we will be happy to help. No question is silly or trivial.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hello guys,

    Just when I think I'm coping it hits me hard, can't sleep tension headache, hot flushes and feeling of doom.

  • Talk to someone. That’s the only way.

    A counsellor or friend or us right here.

    just say how your feeling and what your situation is. Your age your status, your treatment or plans. All of these will help us understand where you are and how we can help.

    there’s nothing we haven’t seen before so fire away with what you k ow about your cancer and let us help you.

    we can help

  • Hello  

    I think those issues affect us all to some degree. I assume you are on Hormone Therapy so:

    * I cured my Hot Flushes by adding Sage Tablets to my daily medication - they don't work for everyone but they stopped serious Hot Flushes for me.

    * Anxiety coupled to not sleeping can be caused by worry - please do give our Support Line a call on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week). They can help you with this and it's a free call.

    * Have you spoken to your GP about your sleep tension headache?

    Best wishes - Brian.
