Fine for 5 months my PSA stable to 1.1 . March I got Covid Pfizer vaccine and after that all hell broke loose. PSA up to 1.4 diarrea, leakage had to use diapers. Skin rash in my arms Derma told me cause by a new drug in your body. Pain in my left arm very hard pain my left breast. PSA 3.2 . Stopped and now back to normal. Now trying Xtandi.

side effects: frequent urination, swollen breasts and tender nipples. ED, lack of energy, psoriasis outbreaks, upset stomach after meals, poor nights sleep nearly every night (2 hr urination) PSA was 34 and now undetectable. After nearly 3 years, Dr. has stopped Bicalutamide 50mg. Next PSA scheduled in 6 months. I seem to be a cancer survivor but will wait for Dr. confirmation.

I have read what webmd has said about this drug. side effects you have to worry about your prostrate cancer this crap will kill you. I have been in the hospital 3 times only to find out this drug was the problem. High Blood pressure, diabetes dizziness real bad my stomach killing me. I will take my chances with my PSA without this garbage.

The hot flashes, constant urination, nausea, and ED are almost enough to off-set the benefits

Had prostate removed 9 months ago, received great pathology reports following surgery. However, was started on bicalutamide week before surgery & have continued due to high gleason score. Doc projects I need to continue for 2 yrs. Side effects observed, severe fatigue, painful & swollen breast, muscle/joint pain, weight gain even with exercise 5 days per week, arthritic conditions seem to be more intense & a number of others.

I have switched from Casodex 150 to this generic about a year ago. It has the same affects as Casodex. Swelling and tenderness of breasts, hot flashes, sweating, frequent urination, loss of energy, loss of hair, loss of sexual desire, weight gain, and sleeping problems, but my PSA has been 1 or below until my last test when it was 1.4
