As my earlier entries will confirm I elected to begin Xtandi only after a fair amount of research, hand-wringing and consternation. At the time I was convinced the most debilitating side effect of Xtandi consisted of tolerable fatigue. I have been on Xtandi a little over one and a half years to date. Until recently the side effects evolved as expected.
Gradually a number of unanticipated side effects have materialized; they are:
--Erectile dysfunction
--Genital shrinkage. My male appendage is roughly half the size it was prior to starting Xtandi
--Hair loss, i. e., arms, armpits, legs and head (thinner and less abundant)
--Major reduction in my heretofore robust libido
I do not particularly relish admitting to these shortcomings* in a public forum, but due to my earlier favorable journal entries, I want all readers to be fully aware of the potential consequences of the Xtandi option.
* Pun intended? You be the judge.
