Hi John. Husband started Bicalutamide for 4 weeks back in December. Two weeks afterwards he had a Decapeptyl injection. I was terrified.
His side effects so far have been negligible.
ED. We have worked on this. No help was offered or our expressing our wish to maintain a relationship taken any notice of at all. A vacuum pump, Sildenafil from the GP and the Squeezy app. This is keeping our relation intact and I'm sure just helps us carry on as normal.
Hot flushes- he occasionally breaks out in a sweat on his forehead. It passes in seconds. Bit sweaty today, but it's 35°!
He's been taking Apalutamide for 8 days. I was very apprehensive . But so far I know its early days no difference. He has bought a weight training bench and uses it with music blaring out.
He's very active despite being 74, walks a lot is still on the go all the time. I'm sure this is helping .
His Radiotherapy is planned to start on June 28th . 20 sessions over 4 weeks
