After being diagnosed in 2011 for advanced prostrate cancer followed by radiotherapy and hormone treatment for three years I was lucky enough to go off meds for the last 3 years. PSA starting to rise again so they started the tablets again casodex 150mg. Having awful effects constant tingling and numbness in right arm, struggling to walk with pain in groin area and down right leg. Had bone scan Nov clear but havent felt this bad since early days, also have rheumatoid arthritis but I dont think this is related. Feeling lethargic very low constant discomfort in either diarrhea  or constipated. Looking for advice really

What do the docs say? Do they agree it's the Casodex, or are investigations continuing?

Seems to me the first step would be to see if there's a suitable alternative - hormone meds vary in the their action, but also in their side effects.

Good Luck!
