Swollen feet- Zoladex

I have prostate Gleason8. I have just completed radiation therapy and I am on Zoladex. My PSA remains stubbornly at above 2. I assume that things are not looking good. Despite trawling far and wide, I see no reference to the dreaded Zoladex causing swollen feet. My feet are very swollen, on the arches but not the ankles. I don't understand it. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your swollen arches and I do hope that they are not too uncomfortable.

    I have read through the information on our website about the potential side effects of Zoladex which you can see here

    and I have also looked at the information on the European Medicine Compendium which you can see here and I have not seen any reference to swollen arches. 

    I would mention it to your GP to see if they have an opinion as to what could be causing it. You have posted in 'Ask the Nurses' but if you post on another thread you may find that you get more replies. 

    If you would like to ring and chat this through with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are very welcome to do so. Our helpline number is Freephone 0800 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
