My On-Topic stuff: Bloodwork 9 mths out from finish of ADT PSA = < 0.01 Testost = 2.1 (x28 for US) - up from 0.8 Creatinine = 62 Balance: Full blood picture AOK & my off-topic stuff: 72cc gland - TURP, D-Day June 6, 11mths post HDRB & EBRT 90% Scar Tissue - taking forever to heal :( Urge Incontinence erratic. Still no confidence level to go out. Taking Oxybutynin XL Tabs for Appointments over 2 hrs. Ceased work due to this. Have IBS Constipation from Oxybutynin, with subsequent Urethral Pain on Urination - takes 1 day to clear chute again - then Urine flows better and pain eases. Follow up with Uro mid-November.

Your testosterone is taking a while to come back, but it seems to be climbing now. It may take another 3-6 months to get a true, post ADT PSA reading. Best of luck with the side effects. I have to confess that there were times when I welcomed the side effects of radiation. The whole process of being zapped with invisible rays made me wonder if I were being treated at all. But when I had bloody semen and urinary urgency, I knew they really were doing some damage to the prostate and it raised my hopes that they cancer was taking a beating.

Today, I saw the Clinical Trials Professor as a follow-up to that bloodwork. He was citing similar times for the Hormone to vacate my shell and said my T should return to normal, plus rounding up all the bad SEs along the way. He was happy with HIS progress and inferred I should just hang in there for another 6-8mths for them to get a fix on me. Remains to be seen as far as my depreciated QOL will behave? -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC |
