Hormone Therapy (injections)
Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment
Don’t beat your self up over your sex life. There’s more to you than your sex life.
Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment
Six months after finishing hormone therapy I’m back to my original weight and have my energy back. Sweats stopped 4 or 5 months after last injection.
How this treatment impacted my life the most
Dealing with anxieties about my future are ongoing. I avoid getting too preoccupied as there is little one can do except go with the flow.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Not sure
Why did I give this answer?
RP stopped my sex life which I’ve found difficult. Brachytherapy might have had less impact on this but it doesn’t offer the same guarantees. However in my case, I’m not sure the guarantees have amounted to much.
