Metastasized prostate cancer

Had a radical prostatectomy in 2009 at the beginning of this year after a CT scan was found to have an abnormality in my right lung after biopsies it was determined as a adenocarcinoma of prostatic origin.

So in April was given decapeptyl 6 monthly injections and about 2 weeks ago was started on apautamide 4 pills daily and am awaiting Zometa,I am more worried about the medication than the cancer at the moment.

  • Hi Macstu and welcome to the forum, so sorry to hear they have found mets in your lung I would guess it's the side affects hormone therapy HT can cause which is concerning, I have been on HT for 2 years and talking to others my side effects were typical, Macstu nobody knows which if any you may get, a few even manage to avoid them or have very mild symptoms and most if not all can be treated,  the one that most guys get is fatigue and luckily you can prepare for it, should you get it, exercise is the key, get yourself as fit as you are able to, and it will lessen it's impact and shorten how long you have it, best wishes.
