Side effects of my various cancer treatments

My psa is undetectable now but after chemo developed sepsis. Taking half dose nubeqa caused pulmonary embolism and pneumonia. Did 40 radiation treatments 60% to my illiac lympnodes and 40% to my prostate. Nerve damage in my groin has left my feet numb at times. Due to rectal bleeding did a more extensive colonoscopy and found burn spots. Suffering IBS plus occasional rectal bleeding. Six months after stopping lupron hot flashes and night sweats are worse! Sure my cancer is under control but my quality of life has suffered! Thank you. My Gleason was a 9 stage 4a at diagnosis!

  1. Hi . I have to say that it is a bit of a mystery that your hot flashes and night sweats have gotten worse since stopping ADT. We have had men mention that things along the lines that the six month shot lasted over a year, but I don't recall the symptoms worsening. Have you seen a gastroenterologist? I ask because we have a sister-site for IBD (https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/) and I know the night sweats and rectal bleeding can be an issue. Hoping you can get some relief soon.
