Does Casodex Cause Sun Allergy?

I just began taking Casodex as part of hormone treatment for Prostate cancer prior to IMPT. I saw a reference to sun sensitivity. I just finished a round of doxycycline and got terrible sun sensitivity and some burning. Is casodex as bad? I had to stay totally out of the sun.
