MRi Scan two lesions in prostate

 Morning all 

Hope your all doing well .

Having my first prostrap 3 monthly injection this morning so a bit apprehensive, didn't have any side effects with the tablets or the first month prostrap injection so I guess it's more likely I'll get a few side effects on the three monthly injection.

Was told I'll be on hormone treatment for 18 months to two years so a long road ahead but needs must 

Kind regards 

Peter

Hi Psb2024 - I’ve just completed 18 months and the time has passed ok (probably due to minimal effect of side effects).  Exercise is the key - keep fit and active throughout, and positive about your treatment pathway : you’ll be fine.    AW

Good Morning Peter (Psb2024) 

Good luck with your first HT injection this morning - I have just completed 3 years on HT.

The first side effect was ED - that was pretty quick as my testosterone went - after that the others took a few months to appear. As Alpine Wanderer  said above, keep positive, keep up the exercising and you will be fine.

Every time fatigue hit I got up and did something - walked the dog (again), did a little job about the house, the washing up - just something to keep me going in the end the side effects just became part of my daily life. I carried on as normal - prostate cancer came with me!!

It's not a sprint it's a marathon - just carry on as normal and you will be fine.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi AW

Thanks for that got a treadmill and mix it up.with walks outside and do exercises after my walk so getting fitter is my main goal and a healthier diet.

Hope all is good with you

Peter 

Thanks Brian I'll be definitely be taking your advice as usual 

Thanks again Peter 

Hope all is good with you  

Hello all,

Hopefully starting radiotherapy on an empty bladder soon.

Can you give guidance on impact of enema, how long do I need to be by the loo?

Do you get given a choice regarding time of radiotherapy treatment. 

Thanks Peter

Peter (Psb2024 ), have you had your planning session yet?  If not, everything should be explained.  My experience is that the team will try and move you to a convenient time if you need.  I chose early in the morning so that the day wasn’t wasted (and parking was easier!).

Hi David 

No I haven't had my planning session as of yet, I'm hoping for a morning treatment to ,thanks for the advice. 

Best wishes 

Peter
