ADT. Afraid of it

Posted by chamblee54 @chamblee54, Apr 14 9:01am

I’m 4+ 3 Gleason in one core. But recent mri shows tumor growth. New biopsy coming.
They want to add ADY and I’m scared to death of the side effects. The weight gain and mood swings are especially troubling.
Please share your experience and decision and add your Gleason score.
It’s a quality of life issue for me.
Afraid also of the depression - fatigue. Starting beam radiation soon

Love the "chemo cut." 🙂

When I was stuck in a hospital bed for a while, I just asked my spouse to put the no. 3 attachment on our hair clippers and do my whole head with it. I felt so much better lying on a pillow all day after that, and it was much easier to keep clean during basin baths.

When it grew back on ADT, it came in fine and whispy instead of thick and straight, so I had a new look as a bonus.

After chemo, you should rub it in by growing your hair long like Fabio. 🙂
