I'm sorry to hear th1at you are having a tough time.
If you look back at the sequel l , nce of receiving the lupron and the radiation, are you able to say which one of these triggered which side effect? I know it's a tall order...just wondering.
Did the side effects come on gradually?
So far, my experience has been:
1. Noticed memory changes and mood shifts shortly after the first injection.
2. Felt nauseous the night after first rad treatment
3. Going into 3rd week of rad and feeling fatigue. Changes in bowels since 1st week of rad.
What do I do?
Walk 25-30 min daily on treadmill
Try to do 10 M of weight lifting every other day.
Eat mostly plant based food with occasional poultry or fish.
I'm no longer experiencing nausea.

2.

I am pretty clear about the proctitis being connected to radiation therapy. I felt nauseous the first night following the start of radiation, but that subsided over a couple of days (at the most) or maybe I adapted. Not sure which, except it wasn't an issue for me. There was one other time when I felt nauseous following treatment...the 2nd to last session.
Yesterday ,I noticed the burning sensation, that I felt for the first time 3 says ago, was less. The night before U took a laxative and noticed the stool was softer too. If I could better control it manage my eating behavior, which has gotten worse on Lupron, and get off eating things like bread and pastry ( I don't eat a lot of that, but I can go overboard now and then) and potato chips (not eaten regularly but I overeat when they're around), I should be able to live quite okay with the condition. But, I will try things that sound reasonable when I learn someone who is also a sufferer gets a benefit from taking an action.
