18 Feb 2013	the fact that I am losing calcium from my bones makes me very insecure about the product —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
27 Sep 2010	PSA levels have come down well - but now seem to be creeping up again very gradually after six years. I also suffer from vouts of fatigue which can last a day or two or three. Also unsetady on my feet, weight gain, and have devloped glaucaoma, possible unrelated. Have also suffered irregular heart beat and high blood pressure to the extent of needing a pacemaker installed. Never feel really well - and feel this is a Catch 22 situation. I am grateful that the drug may be saving my life, but wonder is it also takijg away my quality of life with the side effects, and whether or not i really need it at all, having a supposedly slow growing "watch and wait" prostate cancer. —Posted by Curtis Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
