Hi Bestofall and welcome to Cancer Chat.
Everyone reacts differently to treatment but I hope the information we have on our website about hormone therapy and bicalutamide side effects will let you know what to look out for in case you do.
Hopefully some of our members who have had this course of treatment will share their advice and experiences with you soon but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to speak with them about this as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
I hope your treatment goes well bestofall and that you have little to no side effects.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
Hi most hormone therapy side affects are similar put on weight and hot flushes. It depends on if you are having kemo or radiotherapy they can stop side affects being so bad while you are having it. Best wishes and good luck with treatment.

Hi Bestofall,
I had Zolodex Hormone therapy and i certainly noticed a differnce in three days. The dreaded hot flushes started almost immediately much to my wifes delight as she kept reminding me, "Now you know what us women have to go through". She did used to pull my leg about it.
Seriously it is a very good treatment and together with the radiotherapy, saved my life.Brain.
