Hi Macsty,
A very warm welcome to our forum.
I am sorry to hear that you had to stop taking Apalutamide, due to high blood pressure. I understand that about 25% of people who are on his drug, suffer this side-effect. I am glad to hear that you are now getting your blood pressure under control again. Have you been given any other treatment to replace this?
Kind regards,
Jolamine
Hi jolamine
Thanks for your reply , no other treatment has been given they want restart the same one when my blood pressure is down lower, I am also on 6 monthly injections of decapeptyl was on these before apalutamide.
Must admit a bit wary of restarting and asked alternative but they seem to want carry on with the apalutamide I have told if the blood pressure and headaches return I will stop taking them .
