Side effects
I will be starting treatment with Zytiga, predisone, and the Lupron shot every 3 months followed by radiation. Looking for any expereiance on how soon I should expect the side effects if any.
Hi again
so glad you are reaching out. I am sending over some articles/forums with possible side effects. Everyone responds differently, I really hope your treatments go smoothly for you. https://prostatecancer.net/treatment/zytiga-reviews-how-well-works-side-effects, https://prostatecancer.net/forums/lupron-side-effects-2, https://prostatecancer.net/forums/lupron-side-effects-3 and https://prostatecancer.net/forums/lupron-side-effects. Jill (Team Member) Thanks for the info.
: There are men in my support group who went on Lupronmo and more and experienced little to no reaction. Others like myself had all kinds of issues (hot flashes, sleep issues, and unexpected emotions. You just do not know how you will react ahead of time.
Based on personal experience with both LUPRON and prednisone, it might be advisable, at least in the beginning, to keep an eye on managing calorie intake. Both drugs allowed me and others to pile on significant weight in a very short period of time. All said it was almost impossible to take it off until treatment stopped. I do hope others chime in and share their experiences. Dennis(ProstateCancer.net TEAM)Thanks for the info.
