The enzalutamide tablets arrived yesterday and I have taken
the first dose. I now have quite a major intake of pills what with these four
tablets daily plus the bicalutamide and my statins I will start rattling when I
walk. I have also decided to take some vitamin D to make up for the lack of sunshine.
I will now need to be on the lookout for side effects. I
will need to take my blood pressure daily as the enzalutamide can cause this to
increase.
The most obvious side effect of have noticed so far is a tendency
for hot flushes which can be quite uncomfortable in bed. I also think I have an
increased waistline although that may be a consequence of the lockdown.
These tablets will be taken for the next two to three years so I hope the side effects are manageable. Concern about the side effects has increased my stress level as I wait and see what happens.
