I rang my support line and when I told them my temperature of 39.6 was told to go straight to a&e they told the I was coming and went to triage and I had sepsis .my oncologist said it wasn't apalutamide but to stop taking them for now,turns it was caused by a uti any one else had this problem 

  • Hi Macstu,

    I hope you are feeling better now - it's good to hear you were able to be seen quickly and that you got answers about what was going on.

    I'm sure your doctor will advise further regarding the apalutamide, but of course any questions or concerns do keep in touch with them.

    Meanwhile if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully you'll get some more replies soon. You can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other relevant discussions on the site.

    Wishing you all the best,
