Injection

Hello Shar, my understanding is that if the prostate cancer is being treated with a combination of HT and RT and with  the intention to cure ( ie depending on the stage, any spread etc) the injections are slow release and come in monthly, 3 monthly or 6 monthly formulations. Radiotherapy is usually commenced 3-6 months after starting on hormone therapy.

I think the treatment pathway depends though on whether surgery is the chosen option, whether the cancer has spread, whether the patient has other health problems etc.

Thank you 

Hi Shar

I have been (and still am) on the HT/RT journey. I had a few complications on my journey but all sorted out. 18 months down the line from diagnosis all is well. I still have another 18 months to go on HT.

The post above from Worriedwife sums up the journey in a nutshell but if it would give you a better understanding you can follow my 18 month journey, step by step by clicking on the icon of the beach.

I hope this helps - best wishes for your results and scans.

Kind Regards

Brian.
