Prostate cancer with side effects
My father has been diagnosed with cancer 5month back. Initially he has urine related issue so doctor recemended for TURP after surgery biopsy was done so he has been diagnosed prostate cancer with Gleason score(5+4) then urologists suggested for hormonal therapy ( zoladex 10.8mg). We are proceeding with that but father has become weak and there are while patches all over his body also his tongue has swellon and ulcer. Could you please suggest the reason why it is happening and what should we do ??? Is there any side effect of the hormonal therapy and medicines that he is taking ??

Your father is suffering from metastatic ca prostate. Can you share prostate scan report? I hope your doctor has explained both the options before starting the treatment ( chemical vs surgical castration).
I he is having problem with this medicine you can opt for Surgical castration.
