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.

How long is it since you where diagnosed Kev ?.

2017 Jeff.

 

[Exwindsurfer]

Are you still taking any medication for it Kev ?

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.

Night time is not so bad for me but during the day I seem to be pee all the time .I try not to drink anything after 9 at night I think it helps.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

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.

 

[Exwindsurfer]

Ive started to only drink decaf tea and coffee.What time do you stop drinking at night then ?.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I didn't find it made any difference for me.

It is one of the bridges you went over in Norway.

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.

Going in the right direction, hope op 2 goes well.
