-But I'm still rolling along.
Saw my urologist today for a routine update. But I have been much worse with pain the last 24 hrs. Told him all my symptoms and finished up on the couch for an examination, -not PR fortunately.
I have a painful left hip, a very weak left leg that won't bear weight and a tender liver edge. Sent straight off for hip/pelvic xrays and blood tests. My urologist came and talked over the Xray results as he was on his way to operate in the same hospital
The urologist says the decapentyl injections have not controlled my pelvic weeds and I have a pathological fracture of my left pubic ramus, -hence the pain and weakness. I am to go back on the bicalutamide tabs that worked so well in May & June this year. The blood tests and a CT scan will sort out what else is going on. Also he is referring me to the oncologist for radiotherapy to the secondary that caused the fracture.
I'm a great denyer and I feel relieved at the moment to know why I suddenly can't get about and do things. I suppose I must be a crazy optimist but somehow I think it will get better or that we're all talking about someone else. I may finish up in The Room, but just now I feel OK at the keyboard and reading my emails. My wife is very supportive in a sensible way and this helps a lot. My urologist is the best and we get along together very well. Wonder how I'll feel tomorrow.
