Diagnosed 2021; T2; Gleason 3+4.RT FOR 20 sessions ending 20/4/2022 plus Prostap HT injections 3 monthly & bicalutamide HT tablet daily both ending 4 weeks ago. PSA reduced from 8 to 0.01.

Oncologist seems happy about status(telephone consult every 3 months though never seen face to face).

Flushing has almost subsided but urinary frequency increased to every hour & several night time episodes. Joint & muscle pain in lower back; hips; thighs; knees; ankles & wrists.

Any advice on how long side effects likely to last?

  • Hi

    Side effects can last for sometimes weeks or many months, depends on the individual, they will dissipate and if your team is happy about your condition then all should be well soon.

    Stay safe
