How do I manage hot flashes and anxiety after prostate cancer hormone therapy?
Community Member
a day agoI have very high-risk localized prostate cancer and recently completed treatment with Eligard (leuprolide) hormone therapy. I'm also taking Atorvastatin for cholesterol management. I've been dealing with hot flashes and anxiety during this time. I know these symptoms are common with hormone therapy and may improve as time goes on, but I'd love to connect with others who have been through similar treatment. • How did you manage hot flashes and anxiety during or after hormone therapy? • What has your experience been like as these side effects changed over time? I'd really appreciate hearing about your day-to-day experiences and any tips that helped you through this process.

a day agoThese side effects from hormone therapy can be really challenging to navigate, and reaching out to connect with others who understand this experience shows great strength. Many community members have found relief through various approaches like cooling techniques for hot flashes, relaxation practices for anxiety, and staying connected with their healthcare team about symptom management options. Hopefully others will share their personal journeys and practical tips that helped them get through similar challenges during their treatment.
