Hi all
I finished my RT treatment in early January. I had 20 sessions of this after I had HT for 6 months. I then had to wait 6 months until I had a PSA test. The reading was 0.28 which was more than I could have wished for having being diagnosed with a reading of 9.85. I then had a telephone appointment with my oncologist who told me that my cancer was in remission. Hooray!. Just being monitored now with having PSA tests every 6 months for the next 2 years, but I still find myself having frequent visits to the loo throughout the day and often go 3 or 4 times during the night. Has anyone else experienced this or is it normal to pay frequent visits to the loo. My next PSA test is not until the end of December. Any advice/comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
Good Morning sezlez
Well the PSA is great - the loo visits are not!! Like you I am up 2/3 time a night but accept that with a combination of Radiotherapy and Age (70) it's probably the best it gets.
We have just been chatting about this on this thread:
There are a few tips and some advice there including medication, pelvic floor exercises and bladder training.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Best wishes - Brian.
