I have just completed 33 sessions. It's been a long haul, daily travel plus treatment. I have noticed my side effects have deteriorated the further into the treatment I've gone. The fatigue has resulted in me having a nap each day. I found it very difficult...
Morning all, I'm 48 and live in deepest, darkest Kent. I've had problems with my urinary system for the past 4 years. Starting with urinary retention, resulting in about 9 months of catheterisation. I then noticed that I was struggling with Post Obstructive...

I am now on my 5th month of Zoladex. The usual side effects are present, but I have been thinking about the fatigue, which puzzles me a little. It doesn't occur every day, and not to the same extent every day. It exaggerates what I think of a "normal...
Diagnosed a month ago 27th Sept. with Metastatic at T3N1M1B and Gleason 4+5. Im 54, and saw my GP back in May with lower back complaint. Have been referred to Christies, and have an appointment on Tuesday 29th Oct, hopefully to get some answers and...
