Weight loss may be linked to Erleada, but "fear and anxiety" are not common side effects of either drug. Please talk to your doctor about all this because I would suspect you are dealing with the overall weight of prostate cancer - we all are - and it is especially difficult in the early stages, but YOU CAN DO IT! Stay strong. Stay positive. You are NOT doomed! We're here for you man.

well it was a total shock ( the diagnosis)..and it has been quite hot here in central texas and both those drugs dehydrate you..I found out the hard way..I used to be able to ride my bike 8 miles in 100 degree weather and barely sip water..but not on ADT...
I was a bit over weight..I was up to 230 in April..got into cottage cheese with honey as a snack..now down to 205 which is prob where I should ahve been all along..
so yes, making peace with all this has been a struggle..and I was fiercely independent..but it is tough aloneas I am finding out..
thank you for reaching out..it means a great deal..seems so many men are battling this unpleasant disease...
