First off, apologies to the community as I feel that I’m always banging on about this treatment, but this is a post just to highlight some side effects I knew nothing about - to others in the same boat
I think everyone will be familiar with the usual side effects but I recently was admitted to hospital with an acute lower tract respiratory infection , had blood tests and I was surprised to find that I had low iron and low haemaglobin - anaemia !!
I did a quick search and low and behold this is yet another common side effect of the hormone therapy. I would never have known but for the blood tests but it goes some way to explaining the fatigue I’ve been having of late
Anyway, if you’re on bicalutamide - then it may be a good idea to take iron supplements- I’ve been prescribed 2 weeks supply and advised to get more from my GP
