Yes, that and 27 other debilitations of cancer treatment that was completed 27 months ago, with “care” team and 7 specialists unable to relieve any. It’s called a cure worse than the disease.

Yes, had terrible hot flashes. Sweated like i was sitting in the hot sun for 20 minutes at a time. Until I started taking venaflaxzin. Now they are tolerable to nonexistent.

Lord yes! Eligard finished two months ago but need 7 months more to go to normal. Some depression but for me unstable moods and emotions. Feel like a 12 year old again without the energy.

Inescapable for me while continuously on combined ADT type treatments and radiation for my mCSPC. The intensity for me is related to dosage/schedule of ADT drugs and injections and my specific condition. Fighting cancer for over 15 years when I started way back with a radical prostatectomy and then various doses of radiation. I deal with the hot flashes daily and for me, given all the drugs and supplements I already take, adding more prescriptions is not what I want to do.
