Prostate Cancer

I forgot to mention that my PSA has dropped from 13 down to 7.7 since my Hormone jab, but one real side effect is tiredness.
 
Im bound to be getting a call soon as its heading for a year since last horsepiddle apointment.

Fatigue is bad some days I just can not do anything..also with me it's causing major pain in joints..
Have they put you on calcium tablets as I have 3000mg daily .and alendrinic acid .
To slow down osteoporosis which is the major side effect of hormone therapy..

I only drink Mint tea and coffee, the tea is good for the type 2 Diabetes, coffee doesn't seem to do much either way so I can drink as much as I like, but I do like it with sugar though so I have to limit it on those grounds, scuse pun.

I would call then and ask they put me on them straight away and also stressed I must see dentist every 3 months .
 
I had a bone scan and they told me I was okay.

I've had it for about five years or so now and wondered if there was an existing thread on here but couldn't find one.

I'm sure I am far from alone with all the elderly folk on here, and most will get a check up, but some younger farts can get it too.

Most men die with it but not from it so it is worth asking your doc for a PSA test, or for him to put the gloves on for a physical test, (if his hands are one your shoulders or hips, he's doing it wrong) Mine is low grade and I need no meds for the cancer but it does affect my bladder so I have meds for that, they seem to work most of the time but I need to have a day off every now and then, today is one of those days, not fun at all, you go but you can't so wait 5 minutes then suddenly you can.

Ditto going through that right now according to the doctors it has got 11 % worse since January .
 
Mine is. Going very slowly not much more than an egg cup full waiting a few minutes trying to relax then another small amount.
So you not alone had this for about 6 years now .
Up in the night sometimes every hour other times may be as long as two hours apart trips.

So I am getting tired as well coupled with severe emphysema life gets better at ever turn.

However I should not complaint there are thousands of other people a lot worse of..


Anyway
Back to the docs on Monday. For yet another finger job .

As I said to him before not my idea of fun so I will stick to the fishing. 😂😂😂😂
 
A little thing I found is to scratch lightly just above your butt crack And also massage your Lower right tum

What can I say well I have now got cancer as well. Seems it’s advanced. Getting another call from the hospital tomorrow. Seems it’s all treatable. So I am not worried .

And on a lighter note I will still be carrying on with the Moho lithium conversion. And I already have a funeral plan.
Just not booked another away trip yet.😂😂😂
 
Depending on the stage, and your age, you may not need to worry, and we all croak of something,
on the 20th I have to let Liz stab me with my 3rd hormone treatment,not looking forward to that at all.

Not worried at all just getting with whatever it is i am on with now .

On reflection i should have got it all sorted when i found out something could be wrong back in 2016.
Never mind onwards and upwards . Maybe just forget the upwards bit ..😃😃
 
I was diagnosed in 2017,only started treatment in March.
