Drink lots if water, my big issue was Urinary Tract Infections due self catherterising whilst undergoing RT due to urine retention. Once RT ended and I could end Self Cath, the UTI's, controlled by antibiotics, also cleared up.

How this treatment impacted my life the most
The injections caused severe pains in joints and muscles, making going out impossible and even needed help dressing

Why did I give this answer?
I suffered so badly with the injections I was changed to Relugolix tablets which have greatly reduced the side effects, not totally but now tolerable
