Hi all ,
I am currently on prostap hormone injections and enzalutamide tablets to treat my advanced prostate cancer , this is following having a radical prostatectomy last year but afterwards finding it had spread to my spine, had some cyberknife radiotherapy in January 2026.
My PSA is currently undetectable which is great news but I’m finding the side effects from the treatment quite hard to get used to .
Apart from the obvious lack of libido , hot flushes , shoulder aches and emotional days ,I am still getting waves of exhaustion and more recently starting to get what feels like a constant head cold/ congestion.Has anyone else had these symptoms and do they ease overtime or it something I’ve got to live with ?
Hi Mrfe7aa87
I am on Darolutamide (plus Zoladex implant) and have found that I too get a runny nose for some periods of time, but not necessarily clogged up as in a cold. I also have very tiny nose bleeds from time to time. The has occurred at the same time as I have been having chemo so not easy to put a direct cause on it - but it is still around (slightly) since finishing chemo nearly three weeks ago.
