Anxiety from hormone therapy

Posted by rparsons @rparsons, 4 days ago

Has anyone experienced anxiety after starting hormone therapy. I have been off it for 5 months & still have anxiety especially in the morning.

Thanks jeffmarc for your reply. You could be right. I am a worrier & worse case scenario person. Trying to break that trait. I do worry about a recurrence. I don’t know if it’s a source of anxiety for any of you out there, or am I just the only worry wart.

Once my surgery recovery was over, I got busy getting back to my very active life. This helped me stay present in today. I would suggest getting busy living. Death will happen in its own time.

jeffmarc were you on watchful waiting during those 6 years &
didn’t treat it during that time ?

No watchful waiting.

Had surgery 15 years ago, no ADT. 3.5 years later PSA started rising had salvage radiation. Still no ADT for 2 1/2 years, Then PSA started rising again was put on Lupron. Didn’t find out until 2020 that I had BRCA2.
