Prostate Cancer

[Pudsey Bear]

That is really bad news.

I had terrible results depending on who gave the jab, from not being able to walk immediately, to zero pain except if pressing on the jab site lump.

I did have to be insistent as it is budget related.

The list price for relugolix CT is £72 per pack of 28 tablets (excluding VAT; BNF online, accessed February 2025).16 Apr 2025

How much does a trained, dedicated clinic cost, not counting the cost of the patient transport.

The radiotherapy itself is fine, what I struggled with was the enema every morning, it also made my stools acidic which just got worse over the 4 weeks, then as it progressed serious discomfort trying to pee until.i was told about the Ibuprofen. I was more or less fine after two weeks, but it took two months to get back.to something approaching normal, now I take one Tamulosin and one hormone tablet a day, night time peeing varies from one to four per night, two seem average.

You are doing well. I finished my radiotherapy on the 4th of December, but I still only get an hour, and then it's up for a pee. Keep taking the tablets, they say, so keep my fingers crossed that things improve.

I had prostate removed October last year, stopped leaking, but main gun is goosed, tried blue pill + tadafil to no avail, the strange thing is I can be walking down the street then suddenly get a little murmuring for no apparent reason it's a very little murmuring by the way and it hurts, but when I went to get down to business with the Mrs, not a wimper, all very strange

TMI

 

[Mr and Mrs Tupcox]

Been to see urologist today , about being up and down all night every 2 hours , I've tried 3 different tablets over last few months ,but side effects not good so stoped them all after few days of starting them.
Only thing on offer now is botox injection in to blader which would possibly mean not peeing at all naturally,
Or blader removed,
So told him ill stick as I am until further notice..

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Which tabs have you been on?

It took me ages to find the right ones, then after the radio therapy I needed a different one, I can get away with one pee per night but my food and drink during the day can make it up to five pees.

I've had the internal prostate examination, his hands were nowhere near my shoulders or hips, one hand was in the middle of my back holding me down, I'm not going to tell you where the second one was. I've also had the test where they stick the camera down the middle of your willy, and keeps going, a few lumps and bumps inside when they got to my prostate. I'm on Solifenacin succinate 5mg and Tamsulosin hydrochloride 400mg. As far as I know I haven't got prostate cancer, never been told. I'm due for another PSA test so I'll see the doctor and ask the big C question, I'll also checked on the NHS app, see if it says anything about my PSA score. It's good for men to talk about these things.
