Gary's Story
Just to be aware that there will as the consultant said, certainly some side effects we are all different but there is help out there, I think mainly to cope with the side effects rather than eliminate them
I spoke with some very understanding people at cancer UK,certainly felt better after speaking with them, always advise sufferers to contact them or Macmillan also, very professional and understanding
Can’t explain why, but I did feel quite emotional also some anxiety but not a great deal, always spoke to cancer UK made me feel better
For me it was the hormone injections, was advised I could expect some side effects, after the 1st injection it was 3 months before the next injection, and I thought I was lucky, almost no side effects, after the 2nd injection, total different story, my sex life almost disappeared over night, hot flushes came a lot tiredness, anxiety, they were all hard to deal with, but again spoke often to cancer UK, and always felt better after this
Yes
Because I am a welder not a cancer specialist, so I took the advice of my consultant
