Hi Folks i was diagnosed with prostate cancer in Jan-22 ( T3a,Gleason 4+3, i chose hormone and radiotherapy, rather than surgery , ( had the discussion with a friend of mine ,who was diagnosed 8 years ago ,and had surgery ) so he reckoned it was the better option, PSA ,last August, 7.4, Dec-8.4, last tested April -22, and it was 0.3, so the hormone therapy is certainly working ,have another scan in July, and get my radiotherapy programme sorted for treatment starting on 25 July, don't have fatigue as i started back at the gym ,to try and counteract the weight gain, actually took part in the Glasgow 10K, ( walking ) and we have raised nearly £1400.00 for The Beatson Cancer Charity, were i will be getting my treatment. flushes are murder ,, but just have to deal with it.
mental side of it ,had a melt when diagnosed ,i used to have issues with anxiety ,and used self hypnosis, deep relaxation cd's ( Paul McKenna ) use it regularly with headphones, and it works for me , that and the gym, helps keep your thinking on an even keel,
Fairlie ( 68 )
