MRi Scan two lesions in prostate

Morning all 

I've been on hormone tablets for two weeks now and no side effects so far,I have my first Prostap injection Wednesday,are you more likely to get side effects on the injections or is it random pot luck ? 

Kind regards 

Peter 

Good Morning Peter (Psb2024). 

We are all different so don't all get all the side effects. For me Erectile Dysfunction was the first, almost right away, fatigue sneaked up on me and hot sweats hit me after a couple of months.

You will be fine - just carry on as normal - side effects to me were just an inconvenience - not a problem. Just try and keep as fit as possible.

Best wishes - Brian

Hi Brian 

Thanks for the information as always 

Thanks again

Hi Psb2024,

I'm not sure whether tablets or injections are more prone to causing side effects & is probably more down to how individuals react to them.

In my case, it was about 1 month before I noticed anything (apart from a diminishing sex drive but no ED) but by then I had already had my first 3 monthly injection having been on the tablets for the previous 2 weeks.

Fingers crossed any you may get (& I stress the word may) will be on the mild side.

Best Wishes

Hi Brian

Fingers crossed the side effects behave themselves I'm eating healthy and keeping fit so all you can do is hope for the best 

Thanks for replying and information

Glad there's no side effects Peter, keep us updated 

Thanks Stew I certainly will keep you all updated, must admit I'm a bit apprehensive about the injections but obviously no choice needs must

I'm on Zoladex, so the injections are in the stomach. 

It's not something I would pay to do, but once every three months it's not really a problem. 

Steve

Not sure if my injections will be once a month and where they inject,I'll find out Wednesday

Hi all 

Had first prostrap injection today so things are moving in the right direction I'm sure some of the side effects will come but that's a small price to pay to eventually being cancer free probably be it a rocky road,

Asked the prostate nurse about the possibility of having the RT with a empty bladder as I know some guys on here had the Radiotherapy that way and my prostate buddy had the empty bladder treatment to, if any of the guys on here who had the RT on a empty bladder could let me know if they had the after affects of the bladder with the peeing situation  

Best wishes 

Peter
