22.5 mg Trelstar.
It's a testosterone inhibitor.
Doc says side effects may be similar to menopause.
Hot flashes, mood swings, etc.
Nothing so far except an urge to go shopping and get a pedicure.


Have first appointment with radiology oncologist next Monday.
It's going to be an 'interesting' journey.
If there are any PCa guys here I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks
trof
