New diagnosis

Joint pain comes with the cancer and possibly any extra drug you take.

Osteoporosis is a common condition that’s associated with the cancer so the addition of Adcal, and Alendronic acid is a likely future treatment.

All these things to think about.

What I would say is that you could be jumpy due to this new normal you’re going through right now, so keep an eye on your body but an escalation is a few weeks of something aching or paining. This prostate cancer is slow growing.

Chill and. Celebrate the day.

Good luck

Take care

Hello Ian (Dartagnan) 

A warm welcome to the group although I am so sorry to find you joining us.

It looks like you are organised and already have your diagnosis and a treatment plan - as you are aware Hormone Therapy comes with the benefit of plenty of side effects !!

A pain in your hip - if it's a new one is more than likely something brought on by old age or exercise and NOT the cancer, although I am not medically trained. If the pain continues you need to have a word with your oncology team - indeed you need to let them know of any new aches and pains.

I hope the above helps - please do feel free to ask any questions - nothing is too trivial.

Best wishes - Brian.
