Hi

further update on my brother 

his PSA is now 0.2 so he’s made up . He’s got his sense of taste back and not as fatigued as he was . Sage hasn’t worked for his hot flushes so any advise would be great if anyone can recommend anything . It’s been well over a month since he has his scan and hadnt heard anything I’ve told him to ring them tomorrow put his mind at rest as it’s stressing him out he keeps thinking the worst as it’s took so long he was told 2-4 weeks I’m hoping no news is good news but anyway he’s ringing them tomorrow . Hope everyone is doing ok . I think of you all the time because without you all on here don’t think we could have got through this 

thank you  all again

  • Good to hear he's doing ok. I already had little taste and a smell has to be really strong due to having had coving 4 times. I tried the sage route as I was getting extensive hot flushes, even after 3 months I still get them, just have had to live with them.

    My last PSA was 0.01 , they stopped the HT injections ( really happy about that ) next PSA check early November,  I'm a bit concerned about my toilet habbit is increasing again, but with having so much going on, I had my investigation put on hold for stenosis spinel channel nerve damage in neck and lumber due to having prostate cancer which obviously had to come first in treatments, The stenosis has since gone full steam ahead and now waiting to see the consultant/surgeon for plans on the surgery which will involve major surgery.  Now on top of this on my annual review at doctors they flagged up my cholesterol is very high and have put me on satins straight away due to family history and I'm  already on tablets for high blood pressure,  he put my odds at 1 in 5.55 people to either have heart attack or stroke. I still work at 70 despite all this, only part time now just to keep sane. Hope all works out good for you. Best wishes Paul 

  • Hi BG, it's been a while since we talked, I'm sorry your waiting so long for scan results, but when they come your PSA being so low would suggest good news, but absolutely chase them up, though maybe a bank holiday is the best day. Regarding the hot flushes, I took medroxyprogesterone, just over 3 weeks of a 10 week course and the hot flushes cleared up.
