    Hi.

    Most medication have side effects some wear off in time others don't, sometimes oncologist or Dr can prescribe something to help.

    You sound like your managing ok apart from that so well done., sometimes you just need to rest let your body sort itself out..

    My prostate cancer's gone to lymph nodes, spine ribs pelvis and a lung,I'm just living with my uninvited guest,

    Since Feb 2016,.
