| 1 | prostate cancer | aching,tender nipples, enlarged breasts, hot flashes. | Stopped taking after one month. | M | 59 | 30 days | 8/2/2007 | 4 | Advanced prostate cancer | I have had no side effects that I can contribute to Casodex since I am taking other medicines that might be causing the weakness and lack of energy. The other medicine, imipraine, seems to be the major cause of my weakness. I also had an orchiectomy (castration) and that didn't help either. All in all I praise the Lord that I am alive and can still get about. | When I started taking casodex my PSA was 0.6. Now it is less than 0.2. I watch my liver "numbers" since I have also had hepititis B and have a core antibody resulting from that. So far so good. | M | 76 | 2 years | 10/14/2006 | 4 | Advanced prostate cancer | I have had not side effects that I can contribute to Casodex since I am taking other medicines that might be causing the weakness and lack of energy.
