Hi 

I’m Ian 

I’m new to this group, I’ve had prostate cancer since 2016 , had it removed. Been fine up until July 24 . But now my psa is rising fast so I’m down to start chemo in the next couple of weeks 

  • Hi there. Welcome to the prostate help and support group. May you find all the answers you need here.

    Which chemo are you having and what’s your other treatments up till now? Hormone therapy and pills or radiotherapy? And what’s your Gleason score?

    Good luck 

  • It’s tough to have to deal with this again after thinking you put it behind you. Hopefully now you have joined you will find the support and information you need. 

  • Thanks for messages of support. Quality of life good so pretty fed up. More annoyed than that but didn’t want to upset the moderator! Anyway added some pelvic lymph node radiotherapy, done at the same time. Btw NHS Charing Cross Hospital v good. ( Not entirely relevant!). I start 26/1 for 4 weeks. I know we all react differently but I guess I’ll update if of use.
