Hello again
I saw my surgeon recently , he still sees me six monthly three years on which puzzles me slightly though I much prefer him and his team to the oncology gang who I find impersonal and wishy washy . I have been on zoladex for over two and a half years and for the foreseeable future . While discussing side effects , particularly my running hot and flushes he said oh we can fix that with a six week course of cyproterone acetate . Apparently it is having only a small amount of testosterone that causes the problem and if there is none at all the flushes / heat should cease . My main concern is not wanting to exacerbate existing side effects or trigger new ones . He says that this is unlikely as I have most of the side effects already !
My question is has anyone out there had experience of this treatment , did it work , were there any adverse consequences etc..?
Also has anyone tried bitter apricot kernels in their fight against the cancer , I have heard some very encouraging stories about it .
Thanks guys
