M64 (live in the UK). Diagnosed on 17.9.24 with PCa Gleeson score 3+4. PIRADS 3/4 and T3a, 'a few' cancer cells touching the capsule.
Decided to take the Radiotherapy route. Met with with my Oncologist today, 1/10/24. I was pleasantly surprised that Radiotherapy is now 4 weeks instead of 7. What I was unpleasantly surprised about is that I have to stay on Hormone Therapy for Two years.
I work in IT as a contractor, but will retire in a year's time. My question is, how do you guys on short or long term Hormone Therapy cope with the side effects while working. E.g the hot flushes, frequent trips to the loo, the tiredness and the mood swings.
Will appreciate any tips.
