I am a male who had prostate surgery in October 2011 and radiation due to very aggressive Prostate cancer. These treatments did not get rid of my cancer. I am now on hormone therapy and have been for the last 8 years and is working like it’s supposed to. No detectable PSA during this time. However there was a side effect of the therapy which was “Hot flashes”. I began taking Megestrol ((Megace) and it took care of my hot flashes. You might consult with your physician and see what his/her thoughts are above you taking it to see if it would work for you if you are still having hot flashes. If so, you need to take it 2 to 3 months to get in your system. Please be sure and consult your physician before taking as I don’t know what other medications you are taking you wouldn’t want it to have a reaction with your other medications. Good luck
