Hi everyone,
My dad has been having hormone treatment with Prostap 3. He was due to be having the treatment for 2 years. I have seen another thread on the forum about confusion over whether injections should be every 3 months or 12 weeks, which would make a difference in terms of how many injections you would actually get over a 2 year period.
My dad always had in mind that 3-monthly injections over 2 years would mean 4 injections a year and so 8 in total. I know it is not always as simple as that however this is how he was helping himself through it - using a “countdown”. He was disappointed when he was told he should get another injection - number 9 - but was able to rationalise that to himself given his 8 x 12 weekly injections didn’t fully take him to 2 years.
He was then advised to have another injection after this, which has been harder for him to accept as he does not fully understand the rationale. I should say he also had radiotherapy and all his blood tests so far have been extremely positive in terms of his psa level. He is due to meet with his nurse next week and will of course take on their advice.
We were really curious about other people’s experience of this. How many injections of Prostap 3 did other people receive for a 2 year course?
Thanks in advance.
