Prostate Cancer

Where's that bridge in your avatar? Looks very much like one of the ones we went over in Norway recently. They are magnificent structures aren't they?
Back to the subject, All these posts asuage my guilty conscience of spending my inheritance going on holidays while I can. I would hate to be in all your situations. I do have a smattering of hospital and doctor appointments, and so does wifey, and they have cut in half our last two holidays. But they are nowhere near as bad as the experiences you guys have been and are going through. :cry:
 
I switched from the jab to the tablet, Relugolix early this year, but the muscle wastage was so bad they took me off it last month Jeff, now, all I take is Tamsulosin with Mirabegron for the peeing, not doing very well on it, up 3-5 times a night.
 
I pee a lot during the day too, but I do drink 4l of tea/coffee/water each day, to keep it all working, I pee into a jug to measure it and about 1-1.5l at night.

It's along the Atlantic Road in averoy Norway. I pulled in just south of the bridge in a small lay by to get that shot.
 
After my bladder op they found I have cancer there also.It's an aggressive kind but hasn't gone as far as the muscle. They've taken it away and gone deeper into the muscle as well. I've got a 2nd op there in 2 weeks to check up and get further biopsies.
Not started on prostate RT yet but it's coming soon.Had a blood test last week and psa has gone from 60 to 3.8.
I'm feeling fine though and keeping busy although the side effects from the injections of hot flushes take some getting used to.

I cycled over that bridge. I don't swear, but I couldn't help expressing my thrill at it.
 
I have that problem every time, I don't have any visible veins to poke around at. I hate it in the back of my hand though, that can be really hurty :cry: 😭
 
The last time I was jabbed several times in each arm for a blood test and the vampire failed, she asked how much I had had to drink. A cup of tea. She said I'll make another appointment for you, and before you come, first thing in the morning you must drink as much water as you can, at least a pint. What that does is to thin the blood. The reason she couldn't puncture a vein was that my blood was thick and it makes it difficult to puncture the vein. I duly drank a pint of water - ugh, the chlorine! - and the vampire was easily able to suck some out. Not a whole arm full though.

I now have to take statins and take a drink of water before swallowing the pill. Each time, I smell the chlorine and say to myself no wonder some people stack their trolleys in the supermarket with bottled water. It doesn't have chlorine and it's not expensive, only pence per litre.
