Hi Chelle and Ness,

I do smypathise with both of you. I had two years on hormone therapy for prostate cancer and am with what you say about hot flushes and night sweats. It often used to wake me up. I ended up having a competition with my wife to see who could have the most and I was way out in front both for the amount and also the severity.

Allthough I suffered from mood swings, I never did get angry but I did used to find when I heard somthing sad or even somthing good, I often used to have tears running down my face which as a man I found very hard as I had no control over it. One night I thought my wife was in the kichen and there was some thing on the tele about this animal of a father who helped by his wife had tried to rape his 18 month old daughter. The tears just ran down my face when suddenly my wife who had come in the room behind me said "Are yoiu crying"? There is a song with the title, Grown men dont cry so for a man its very embarassing.

The way I had to look at it was that the hormone therapy worked very well for me and coupled with the radiotherapy has enabled me to make a very good recovery so I just had to put up with it.

I wish you both well and hope the treatment works as well for you as it did for me.

Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.
