I forgot to mention that my PSA has dropped from 13 down to 7.7 since my Hormone jab, but one real side effect is tiredness.

Fatigue is bad some days I just can not do anything..also with me it's causing major pain in joints..
Have they put you on calcium tablets as I have 3000mg daily .and alendrinic acid .
To slow down osteoporosis which is the major side effect of hormone therapy..

No new meds bar the jabs so far, oncologist app when we get back.

I only drink Mint tea and coffee, the tea is good for the type 2 Diabetes, coffee doesn't seem to do much either way so I can drink as much as I like, but I do like it with sugar though so I have to limit it on those grounds, scuse pun.

I would call then and ask they put me on them straight away and also stressed I must see dentist every 3 months .

I had a bone scan and they told me I was okay.

My bone scan was fine to..that was to see if cancer had spread there to.
Not for osteoporosis

I've had it for about five years or so now and wondered if there was an existing thread on here but couldn't find one.

I'm sure I am far from alone with all the elderly folk on here, and most will get a check up, but some younger farts can get it too.

Most men die with it but not from it so it is worth asking your doc for a PSA test, or for him to put the gloves on for a physical test, (if his hands are one your shoulders or hips, he's doing it wrong) Mine is low grade and I need no meds for the cancer but it does affect my bladder so I have meds for that, they seem to work most of the time but I need to have a day off every now and then, today is one of those days, not fun at all, you go but you can't so wait 5 minutes then suddenly you can.

Ditto going through that right now according to the doctors it has got 11 % worse since January .
