I have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but have a 'unusual colourful' medical history, just been denoted Decapeptyl injection, what sort of side effects are listed for this medication?

Thanks Smurtaw I believe strongly it has to do with my Schwannomatosis NF3 ? Where are my specialists, always on holiday, must be something to do with this good weather? After coming out of my isolation/poverty period outside exercise is near the top of my goals! I have been suffering "Fatigue, cardiac risk, bone loss, muscle loss, libido loss, hot flashes, some cognitive issues" due to my isolation for the last six years!

I noticed in a previous question you have been on Bicalutamide, as you know I am new on this, it is just old lab rat🐀here has such weird reactions to medications, I have to be extra careful? Thanks Smurtaw👍

You are really educating me, obviously I will be on bicalutamide because of the epilepsy risk, they seem to have got that right! I am starting tomorrow with that, I have NF3 [Schwannomatosis], the only one in Ireland with the condition, it caused such bad reactions with the AZ vaccine, my left arm's use is now about 30%, I have to be very careful, as not much is known about the condition and the reactions, my epilepsy does not help either? [Osteoarthritis, diabetes 2 and stroke as well🙄] smurtaw 👍

Got over the session of bicalutamide ok! Phew! but the full power of Decapeptyl up my posterior, leaving me with grumpy old man symptoms, short memory, cannot read[ brain not into gear], fatigue, anger at practically everyone, incontinence means not going out anywhere, females especially "stay away!" this being woman's era🙄😏, any PC specialist ALWAYS female, feel cannot discuss intimate details on same playing field, example my PC nurse, I'm old enough to be her grandfather, like a timid wee mouse?🐭 I can fully identify what my older brother went through, he had an operation, but the side effects of the medication, wonder was he really able to get rid of them? Is it possible to get rid of the gormless effects of Decapeptyl, will they wear off, I suppose I'm going through the worst phase of this stuff, one full power injection every three months next Dec. next one! I am such a low ebb with effects of other conditions to be taken into consideration! Just had a cup of coffee in town, proceeded to wet myself, lucky had big hat, brought against wet from rain but hid wet from another place!

Major Cancer centre appointment for 23rd next month! I honestly do not like the sound of this!

I'll take my hat along!🙄

It seems I have not got Prostrate Cancer🤗 BUT the side effects of Decapeptyl sr, have reacted with my pectus carinatum osteoporosis, you would think they would notice this as I cannot walk around bare chested at any time🙄 life changing! My local health centre "we cannot do anymore for you!" on seeing the present state of my rib cage structure! Somebody has made a BIG mistake, no word back YET 😤😤from the offending party!😤😤😤
