Hello nikz3,

Welcome to our forum.

I’m sorry to hear you were diagnosed with prostate cancer in August 2015 and that you are feeling poorly with the hot and cold flushes, weight gain and dry skin.

While I can’t answer your question I thought I might send some information we have on our web page about prostate cancer: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/prostate-cancer and the telephone number of our cancer nurses if you feel like giving them a call: 0808 800 4040. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Also, it might help to have a look here: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/coping/physically for ways of dealing with the side-effects you report.

I hope you will find this information useful nikz3.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
