Prostate Cancer

Tattoo time, it's headed in the right direction at least. I had 20 sessions 5 a week for four weeks maybe 5 minutes each, but a 3 hour round trip, it was the enemas which wore me down.
 
Had an op on the Bladder,laser removal of suspicious growth.no cathater but a lot of blood after and had to use a tenna pad or 2 for a couple days.No results of that yet.Started the injections today.Given a choice of 3 so obviously went for the short thin needle Prostap option.Never felt a thing,this time.
Booked a long weekend at shepton mallet show next weekend.Getting cabin fever ,need to get out and about while I got a chance before the RT begins

Cancer and RT treatment has moved on massively, At the Royal Marsden Sutton I was treated for non-Hodgkin disease, it’s a lymph node cancer, I had three tumours removed, plus a month of daily RT, took 20 years to be cleared, but they succeeded .Tattoos still evident.

Had pre treatment scan this morning, had three tattoo’s today last time only one, RT sessions now changed back to 20 like you had.
.
Onwards and upwards.
 
I booked mine for the first appointment every day, and apart from three days, I was out by 9 a,m so the whole day wasn't ruined, it's just a chore you have to get through, but make sure you drink all the water, and empty your bowels, it's mega important, and take Ibuprofen if you have any pain in the loo, they also do a special cream for soreness, but you have to ask for it.

No choice on appointment times but most around 10am, good advise on the fluids ect thank you, last time around half way through very sore, just like sun burn, 14 days until RT starts, we booked Shepton mallet show, good to get away again.

I'm ringing Urology next week, this all started with having to pee 2-3 times every night, so since 2017 I've had all the treatments, cancer is reduced or gone, not sure, as the only evidence is an infinitesimal PSA result, and we all know how accurate they are, but I'm still up 2-3 times a night, so I'm looking for answers as the lack of sleep is seriously affecting all parts of my life.
 
I'm the same with peeing during the night, had prostectomy October last year, PSA is now "0" from 3.99 apparently the peeing is overactive bladder caused by the OP had to scrape the bladder as prostate was growing into it Gleason 3+4 on tablets for the peeing not doing much though,
