With the help from The Highlander there's a chance I might send a successful post. I was diagnosed with High Risk Advanced Prostate Cancer just over a year ago and was told I could expect around 5 years of survival. One down, Four to go?
I tried Doxetaxel but had to stop after 10 mins due to extremly severe lower back pain. Very dissapointing so I asked about Aberaterone, only to be told it was very expensive and a grant would have to be applied for, yet I read of other people from other trusts who seem to routinely receive this obviously effective treatment.
Having said this I have had seven weeks of Radiotherapy alongside the Zoladex implants and my PSA is now 0.36 down from 61 and my Oncologist does say I am doing well. So do I accept this and sit back till things change, or should I do more? Also still really tired and lacking energy 5 months after RT, will this improve?
Looking forward to hearing your opinions and thanks for reading my moan
