This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

I've been receiving zoladex implants every three months for 2 years. I've experienced occasional hot flushes and lethargy. The loss of libido was the most noticeable change but I suppose that was to be expected.
I visit a gym at least 3 to 4 times a week and go for a long walk most days. Clearly the side effects vary from person to person but to date my only limitation is that I avoid visiting the gym directly after receiving the implant.
