Hi all,
I have been on Prostap since March last year just before starting my course of radiotherapy, thankfully I have had undetectable psa levels since. My oncologist has told me that after my next prostap injection due in a couple of weeks I can stop as I would have been on them just over a year. Could anyone tell me roughly how long it takes to come out of your system and the side effects to wear off?
Hi Spursy1882 and welcome to the forum. I was on Prostap for three years and it was about six months after my last injection when things started to return to normal.
I hope that helps.
Hi Seamus47,
Wow 3 years!, I guess I'm getting off lightly at just over a year, thanks for the reply
Hi John
Thanks for the reply, that sounds terrible for you, have your symptoms reduced at all?
