He had surgery 6 yrs. ago next month and radiation after that.Carol Mac  Carol Mac Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT "does Casodex help?"Yes in majority of cases it will.Side effects are difficult to gauge with any of these treatments: most men have few or mild issues while others have more acute problems, especially at first.Things which might assist with side effects are:  time, medication change, lifestyle improvement, diet, nutrition, supplements, remaining active.  Johnw100 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT  I was on the Casadex for two years and the side effects were minimal....hot flashes were not bad...I sorta got used to it...My best to you... williamt Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT starting tomorrow on casadex forProstatic Duct Adenocarcinomascared  but i am a positive personhope i can stay in touch and give you a update on how i am doing.big mike Big Mike Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
