Yes, Stage IV guy for 1.5 years on Eligard. Hot flashes, fatigue, bone pain now and then. First-year shots were quarterly. The last two injections have been six months in duration. I have a carefully designed and monitored Wellness Plan to help enhance my quality of life.

I have been diagnosed with PC with mets to the bone (5 places) for two years. On Eligard and Abiraterone Acetate and also have had an infusion treatment with Provenge. Numbers all good and physically I feel okay except for fatigue, hot flashes and pain where the cancer is when I overdue physically. I would love to have a "carefully designed and monitored Wellness Plan to help enhance [my] quality of life" but the practice I go to is small and does not have a social worker/counselor to help design such a plan. I especially am having trouble with recreating an intimate life with my spouse. He states he has no issues with me not being able to get an erection and having no sex drive any longer. This distresses me quite a bit, as I feel like a three year old with a 54 year old man I am living with. How does one maintain intimacy when motivation and equipment don't work like before. I am having serious trouble adapting. Suggestions anyone?
