This little video provides way more usable information than much more slickly packaged productions about hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Thank you, doctor, for your time and caring.
Dear Doctor, I have started hormone therapy yesterday, your information and the manner you provide it is nothing short of superb. Thank you very very much
Bet you didn't get all the facts about CHEMICAL CASTRATION. ... Doctors sugar coat ADT like the drug company salesmen. Look deeper and get all the facts
This video explained more than any of those pamphlets and timed visits with the urologist, oncologists and radiation oncologists combined. I’m the wife of a Prostate cancer patient. I support my husband emotionally, organize medical notebook and appointment calendars. Can’t imagine someone going through this or any cancer alone.
Were you informed about the severe brain fog, the significant risks of diabetes, osteoporosis, diabetes, increased risk of strokes and heart attacks, sarcopenia, mood swings, severe depression, destruction of sexual function including orgasms,, the risk of months or years before testosterone recovery, the risk that up twenty percent of older men will NEVER RECOVER ABOVE CASTRATE LEVEL,, or that ADT CASTRATION longer than six months reduces life expectancy by two years?? You probably were not fully informed because full disclosure would harm Big PHARMAS profits from these outrageously expensive toxins.
Thank you. This talk is so reassuring. My husband has prostate cancer and is on zoladex. His PSA dropped from 1200 to .5 with the first injection. The reading has remained stable at less than 1 for 16 months and we hope that the drug will keep us together for many years!
22:00 Very comprehensive presentation. Thanks. I have gained weight but no other side effects over last two years. I do not know about the best nutrition program. Too lazy for rigorous exercise. Wanted to know from group here if I can have a Scotch twice a week.
Thanks for sharing, I am a medical interpreter and being aware of the process and side effects of hormonal therapy really helps me to understand the process and facilitates the convertion of the message during my appointments.
Dear Sir, You have made it so clear,that I feel it has help us a lot in understanding the whole treatment,which my husband is going through it .Is really hard on him.Thank you Doctor for all the information.I feel a lot better now.
I enjoyed this Doctors easy pedestrian delivery of the facts. Thanks for the clear overview on hormonal therapy, along with your bone density comments. 2 subjects of vital interest. If you look at these comments..well done Doc, Thanks.
@@davidmustoe6818 Actually, it is slick ADT sales propaganda because it obfuscates the truth about the horrific quality of life destroying and life shortening side effects of toxic ADT CASTRATION
Very informative video has explained a lot of my questions i have stage 4 locally advanced prostate cancer with a Gleason reading of 8 my treatment was 38 days of radio therapy followed by 3years of zolodex hormone treatment my pas when diagnosed was 22 after treatment it went down to 0.1 yes 0.1 it is starting to rise again it is now 3.7 iam being monitored and may have to go back on hormone treatment again I was diagnosed in July 2008 at the age of 48 years old
This Doctor....... is perhaps the clearest & informing I've yet to see. Thank You, for your mannerism, it is also a very positive feeling we get from you. I'm sending this to my chums that I've met at our Cancer Clinic.
Ive been on ADT HORMONAL therapy for 15 years plus and i REGRET it. Negative quality of life. Turned me into a walking dead man. And i started with radical prostatectomy which I regret better to live without these two treatments and die.
Dr I am so delighted with your explanation of facts regarding hormonal thereapy. Six months ago I was started treatment and the side effects you talked about are taking centre-stand on my mind but am very happy that you have rubbed'off out of my mind. Your presentation was superb
Didn't see a reference to elevated risk of developing pre- or type 2 diabetes which may be the result of the increased weight gain. Personally I did drift into type 2 diabetes during my 18 month course of Deca Peptyl ADT. but with rigid dieting (low carbs, medium protein and fat) I dropped back into the low levels of pre-diabetes. As a detail for the diet, it really helps to take a low calorie pre load (e.g. glass of water) before meals which lowers the size of the meal needed to assuage hunger.
The doctor tells me little what was going to happen with hormonal therapy. Never have any followup and never can be reach, just his nurse. Now I have enlarged breast that I understand could have been prevented but now too late. Lupron shots and expensive pills. I do not have any energy to hardly exist. Terrible day and night long sweats that i need towels to dry. I wish I had never started treatment. Cancer in my lymph nodes but he will not even tell me what to expect. Think my doctor should learn by watching videos.
Another side effect of Lupron is that you will sometimes experience brain fog when you get up in the morning. Start taking vitamins. A Also, you will have to use the bathroom more (#2) :( You might want to purchase and wear depends underwear if necessary. Also, eat less food when going out or at work just to be on the safe side.

Mickey Mantle died in 1995 from Liver Cancer. The evil troll who left this exaggerated comment wants to do real harm to men like me who are on Hormonal Therapy. This is a very useful video and Dr Beer is a genuine caring Doctor.
Consider yourself blessed if the Eligard didn't give you ....severe brain fog ...severe depression .....severe mood swings ....severe muscle wasting ..... permanent penile atrophy ...... diabetes ......anemia .......bone loss ...... permanent partial or total CASTRATION as after 18 months or more of ADT, 75 percent of all men WILL NOT RECOVER THEIR TESTOSTERONE LEVELS EVEN AFTER A MEDIAN TIME OF FIVE YEARS. Sadly, drug companies don't want our doctors to give patients FULL DISCLOSURE ABOUT ALL THE HORRIFIC QUALITY OF LIFE DESTROYING SIDE EFFECTS.
I'm due to start HT in a few days - and rather nervous about it. Thank you for this interesting and quite thorough talk. It would have been useful to know what medicines counteract hot flushes - (sometimes it takes weeks to "talk to your your doctor" (!) Thanks again !
I found your video very informative I did have low testosterone I have been on replacement testostorone injections for 3 years however i have constant hot flashes which can be a warm up all day when I get up each morning no problem then after breakfast it commences in varying degrees and can go on in with different intensities Iam 80 years of age my Dr tells me its my energy field causing the hotness he did change the 3 monthly injection to every six weeks I do get some days free of the hotness however its very uncomfortable i wonder if my prostrate is responsible
Did everybody does here with this guy said the side effects don’t come from the drug, but it comes from the loss of hormones what in the hell do you think cause that it was the drug?
Thanks for the information. It helps a lot for the discussion with the Doctors. Readings in Dr. Google suggest that hormonal treatment promots the risk of dementia. Do you have any thoughts on that? Is there a way out. Overall the real challenge is mostprobably that patient and health provider will have a different idea about the value of quality of live and longetivity. What you think? I really appreciate any hints how to approach, considering that there are so many variables to look at. And lastly, would it be possible to interrupt hormanal treatment and resume in a hopefully distant moment in the future when necessary? (Status - radiation therapy 3oo7 - 1 injection and 13 oo 30 … 50mg bicutalamid)
Can you elaborate on hot flashes , how do you control or eliminate or manage I am on hormonal therapy and experience hot flashes quite often it usually last few minutes
Does Clegenatur Methods really work? I notice lots of people keep on talking about Clegenatur Methods. But I'm not sure if it is good enough to increase their breast size without surgery.
Going through this now, and I refuse to believe I'm going to be this weak for the rest of my life. I'm 63. I'm interested in trials where testosterone is reintroduced.
You only got the tip of the iceberg. Big pharma and the medical CARTEL don't want you to know all the horrific quality of life destroying and life shortening side effects.
Excellent presentation, and I thank you for making it available. One question: along with the other possible physical changes you mentioned, can there be a change in vocal pitch or quality?
Major question: Does cancer also grow using the synthetic anabolic steroids bodybuilders use for muscle gains, or can they be substituted for testosterone to preserve muscle mass without “feeding” the cancer?
Well at 75 I really am not worried about sex. Besides my testicals are now a third their size and so is my pinus. My breast look like I need a bra. Basically it changes into a woman!!!!! They have not been able to stop my heavy sweating ALL THE TIME! Makes life almost unlivable! Wish I never tried to treat my cancer!
I fight that battle almost on a daily basis but you do not have to fight it by yourself you are important people need you take about it get mental health care and don’t give up
We all will die one day but live ❤ and add life to your time left, go for some other treatment. Our journey has just begun, my husband has chosen radiation. Don’t like this hormone therapy, Lord be with you. 🙏🏻

The 2 side effects I got from the Elguard injection is hot flashes and no interest in sex. Plus impotent. No more sex for me.
