Hot Flashes and Hormonal Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Posted by dandl48 Dave @dandl48, Jul 14, 2020

@bruto1 I see from a different thread you started HDT 4+ months ago. I has a 4 month shot of Eligard 2 weeks ago and had my first Hot Flash 3 days ago. It was very mild and lasted for only a few minutes. since then, I've had a few more each day but again very mild and short. Based on your experience is this normal for the shot to take 10+ days before the side effects kick in? My SBRT is scheduled for 2nd week in Sept in Rochester.
