Newbie2025 confused

Have just started hormone therapy prior to radiotherapy I think I am getting hot flushes but I'm not really 100% sure I get hot but not particular sweated. It seems to accure mostly when I'm in bed. I'm also a walker and do mostly 4 miles every other day but seem to be getting tired towards the end of my walks.However I play badminton twice a week fo 2 hours and that doesn't seem to be effected. I am obviously reading lots about the effects etc and wondering if I am looking  to find the side effects rather that actually getting them, all very confusing.

  • HI Newbie205,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    We all react differently to hormone therapy. Some people don't get any side-effects, while others have real problems. It took about 4 weeks before they started kicking in for me. It sounds as if you are doing well so far. Try to keep yourself as active as you possibly can. We all tend to pile on the weight with hormone treatments, but the activities you're doing should help to keep this down. Sometimes you are better not to read the side-effects, in case they appear by auto suggestion. You'll soon recognise any side-effects if they occur, but here's hoping that you'll be one of the lucky ones!

    Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on in the next few weeks. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
